1. There is no problem if vaccination gets delayed for one to two weeks
2. More than antibiotics administration , the reason for delaying vaccination is the infection in the body for which antibiotic is being given . Generally presence of fever is a contraindication to giving vaccination as also any severe infection in the body causing child to be very sick
3. So if child has recovered and is well and without fever , you can get him vaccinated

Delayed vaccination is because of the infection proper which is controlled after 7 days.
Nothing wrong in 1 to 2 weeks of delay.
Please go for vaccination only if there is no fever after antibiotic course.
