Oral steroids and vaccinations?

How long do you have to be off an oral steroid before getting a live virus vaccine? I am coming over here from the 12-24 month board, but thought I'd ask. We need to get the chicken pox vaccine and he was on oral steroid in sept. Tia!

I'm not much help...but can tell you my DD was on an oral steroid and pedi never mentioned anything about any issues with her 9 month vaccines.  I can't remember exactly, but I'd say it was about 2 months in between.  Obviously, check with your pedi to see what they say.
