Shot night and still running 101 fever?

[HaveFaith4Me]

Hey guys usually we do the shot on saturday evening but he had ran a 101 fever all day yesterday so we decided to wait and do it tonight (sunday). He's still running fever and has the chills. I'm wondering if it's ok to still give the shot if he's running that high of a temp? We've called the pegasys hotline but they haven't gotten back to us yet. Would love to hear your advice.

Thanks so much!

Thanks! We went ahead and did the shot earlier. The pegasys hotline called back and said just to plan on calling his dr. tomoro and let them know he's been running fever for past few days.

He's pretty far into treatment, I do agree with OH somehow I think your Dr would say to give it. and also if he does have an infection he needs to be checked. but if it is concerning you guys to give him his shot, you could even wait until after you talk with your Dr. tomorrow. My ins co. screwed up my last month order and I knew I would not get my meds on time, so I called pegasyst. the pegasys nurse told me I could wait 3 days without taking my shot and not even talk to doc. If I waited longer the Dr may have wanted me to alter my shot schedule. Sorry if this reply is too late.

I don't consider 101 as a high fever.

Personally I would have done the shot on the same day and not waited.

I would have emailed my hepatologist but somehow I think he'd tell me to go ahead and take the shot.
Sounds like he's got the flu.
I'd get a hold of his treating doctor asap, and make sure he doesn't have an infection.
