DTP B2 vaccination query
My daughter is currently taking antibiotics for tonsils from 3 days , no fever from 2 days. Can she take DTP B2 vaccination now. She got scratched by a cat today, so I'm worried. Please advise

Greetings
Generally, mild illness without a fever or an active course of routine antibiotics does not contraindicate receiving standard vaccines like DTP. However, because the child sustained a fresh animal scratch, immediate medical management must focus on wound care and rabies or tetanus post-exposure prophylaxis rather than scheduled boosters. The primary concern with a feline scratch includes risks for bacterial infections like cat scratch disease, tetanus, or rabies, so a healthcare provider should evaluate the wound immediately.
