Year 9 Immunisations

[Karen2603]

My Year 9 son has brought home the forms for Tetanus diphtheria polio and meningococcal immunisations, he is currently taking Doxycycline for acne, will he need to stop taking these, does anyone know please?

I never heard of there being a reason to stop the spot drug.. .can't find any thing about it on Google, either. There's usually a number you can ring on the forms to ask that kind of question.

No he won't need to stop taking them, there should be a space on the form to list medications being taken too

Here is the medical product sheet for Doxycycline. Hope that helps.

Lots of parents around the world have reported adverse reactions in their children after vaccination who were on antibiotics. That, of course, is just a coincidence in the opinions of pro-vaxxers, but just thought I'd share that with you. I would stop them for a while as a precaution but that's just me. However, It can take a long time to recover your microbiome after AB's. Could you delay the vaccines for a while so your son can build his immune system up again?

Thank you all, I will double check with GP on Monday, just wondered if anyone on here had had a similar experience! Will probably just stop the antibiotics any way as his skin is almost clear now! :)
