Started stelara 3 weeks ago and doing brilliant on it with very few side effects. I have caught the rotavirus from my kiddies who have been sick for a week. Will this take longer to clear up with me because I'm on Stelara? Is this something I need to contact my dermatologist about?
Thanks for any info
Sorry to hear that. Kids bring everything home with them from school. Rotavirus spreads rapidly. Washing hands is helpful.
Having an immunocompromised household contact is not usually a reason for delaying routine vaccination for others in the household. Rotavirus vaccine should be administered to susceptible household contacts and other close contacts of immunocompromised Family members. All members of the household should wash their hands as a precaution especially when small children are around.
Check with the CDC For more info.
HOPE YOUR BETTER SOON.
