Can you catch anything from a baby after they've had their jabs?

[Comps83]

Ok this might be a really stupid question but I've just had a play date cancelled as the other baby has just had jabs and 'might give my little one something'
Is this nonsense? Or did they just get a better offer?

Rotavirus sheds in poo but unless they are sticking their hands in each others nappies, you’re all good. And presumably your child has had the same jabs?

No not yet . He's getting his next week which is another reason I wanted to know

Vaccinations don't make you infectious, so no you can't catch any disease from a child who has just had their jabs.

I say 'play date' what I meant was just a mum catch up really. My baby's too young to 'play'

Rotavirus is live and can shed in nappy.

Also MMR is risky if someone in long term close contact is immunosuppressed - risk level and duration not quantified tho

A few decades ago I recall being given the polio immunisation a few weeks prior to my baby being given it as I had never been immunised. In those days the vaccine carried live virus I think which had a minuscule risk of being excreted. But I don't think any modern facts use live virus now?

Rotavirus maybe. But no it’s not a thing. The polio vaccine is not live in the UK. (It’s live in India eg where the risk of polio is much higher).

Depends if it's a live vaccine or not. Most aren't but things like Rota are. Still, you'd need to be in contact with their poo to get it. I believe some part of the MMR is live too.

When I had my DDs vaccinated against chicken pox (privately it's not standard on the NHS currently) I was told both times that it's a live vaccine and to keep the children away from people who could be susceptible to it where it could be dangerous (like immuno-suppressed people, pregnant women who haven't had pox etc) for two weeks after each injection.

Probably a bit OTT to cancel a play date if there are no health issues to worry about, I wouldn't personally.
