Medical Question: RE innoculations

Edited on Mon May-17-04 06:15 PM by JonathanChance

Next week Monday, I'm scheduled to go in for some innoculations before I transfer out to UWSP. Today, I've got a sore throat in the back of my mouth and am running a fever of 101.1. I've got chills, and I'm becoming miserable. My question is: Should I call off my innoculations on Monday if I'm still sick? When i do get sick, it does take a while for me to recover.

1. Depends on what you're being innoculated for.

Most people administering innoculations will ask you if you are sick right now. Usually it just means 'sick with the ailment we are innoculating you for', but check just to be sure. :-)

3. You'll probably be better by Monday

I've never had a reaction to those injections. If you were going to get Plague, Cholera, Diptheria...I'd say stay home. But you should be OK.
