Vaccine FAQs - Can antibiotic be given to a child received DPT booster 24 hrs ago for Respiratory Tract Infection?

Q: Can antibiotic be given to a child received DPT booster 24 hrs ago for Respiratory Tract Infection?

A:  There is no interaction between any antibiotic and injectable vaccinations. The only possible exception could be oral Typhoid vaccine (not available in India at the present point of time). All presently available vaccines can be co-administered with antibiotics.
