Hi, this is my first post & I was wondering if anyone knows about infliximab and vaccinations. How long should I avoid recently vaccinated babies for? I am due my next infusion next week so would it be risky to visit a newly vaccinated baby this weekend? Thanks for your help.

    Hi Msmungo,

    This question is a bit too 'medical' for us to able to answer. It would also depend whether it's a live vaccine or not. A quick call to your rheumatology nurse should provide the answer.

    Best wishes
