How long dors one have to be away from their grandchildren after they get their vaccinations? One or two weeks?
Only if the vaccines were live vaccines do you need to stay away or thatās my understanding but the childrenās doctor doing them will know that and will only know how long then you might need to stay away.
Grandchildren??? Good lawd. Iām still trying to get to one your boys football gamesā¦ tell me pleez it hasnāt been that long.

The ole miss player is married now and are now talking about grandchildren and that got me thinking about the vaccinations. I was just trying to figure out how this all works. So I really have to be away from them for two weeks once they gets their shots.
But for how long?
I think Pooās right - you really need to ask your doc. Iām pretty sure most of ours arenāt live (I got PsA when my daughter was 2, and there were no precautions taken for subsequent vaccinations), but youād need to get your kids to ask the question of the doc thatās giving the vaccines.
@Rebel_mom I donāt have kids nor obviously grandchildren:upside_down_face:.
But lots of my friends have both. And here in the UK they now give kiddies the flu vaccine up their nose and I think (obviously Iām not sure) thatās the only āliveā vaccine kids are given And thatās the only one therefore that could possibly cause a problem with us and the meds weāre on. And Iām not even sure how you have to stay away for 2 weeks either as this also causes problems to Mumās and Dadās too who might be on meds etc.
I donāt think any of the rest do. Ask when the time comes but I donāt think you need to stay away for any other vaccine other than this one.
With the possible exception of the āliveā flu vaccine their should be zero issues. PsA patients can take (and should) most vaccines so exposure to grands getting them is even less risk.
The new combo vaccines are a wonderful development. Not only are there many times fewer āshotsā exposure to the Kiddos (and you) is much less. There are several available and it depends on the Pediatrician which are used (just stick to the same one:
For what its worth Iām not a fan of the live flu vaccineā¦

From memory, you need to watch the rotavirus vaccinations as these are also live vaccinations. I was told no need to avoid someone who had the vaccination but for two weeks after, be careful and exercise good hand hygiene etc when changing dirty nappies and also on the day of the vaccination to avoid babies mouth.
