Question
My 6 months old daughter was diagnosed and treated for Kawasaki 4 weeks ago. Now, my pediatrician would like to give my daughter her 6 months old vaccinations (Dtap, Hib and Prevnar). Should I hold off on her vaccines at a later time or is it okay for my daughter to receive them? Please advice.
Answer
If she has recovered from her Kawasaki's disease, one may go ahead and give her the vaccines. Also if she has received Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), it would be better to wait for at least 6 weeks till the last shot was given before giving her the vaccine as IvIg may interfere with formation of protective antibodies.
