Can a child be vaccinated two months after the end of dexamethasone treatment according to the vaccination schedule?
After brain surgery, my son took pabi-dexametahason 1mg for 6 weeks, gradually reducing it. The last dose of one tablet per day of 0.5 mg was June 6th. Can a child be given vaccines after two months in accordance with the vaccination schedule for 6-year-olds? He has not been ill since the end of treatment.

Yes, two months after the end of dexamethasone therapy, the child's immune system should already function properly and in most cases there are no contraindications to vaccination. Especially since the doses of the drug were gradually reduced and since then the child has not had an infection.
However, it is worth having a paediatrician assess the child's general health and confirm that there are no medical contraindications before vaccination. This is important, especially after surgery and steroid treatment.
