I even had mine the day after I came out of hospital after being in 10 days with pneumonia.

I don’t know if it’s any different for mepo but I’m on omalizumab and have been given it both on discharge days and have been admitted immediately after having it. I imagine it’s fairly similar for mepo :)

Haven’t had mepo (yet) but when I was on xolair it got cancelled once when I was on day 3 of antibiotics - only time it’s been stopped other than me becoming allergic. They said day 4 would have been fine to have it.

I also had it when ill with a virus and when I was really wheezy and they had me admitted that day... guessing it’ll be a similar thing for mepo x

Definitely yes 👍😄. I have been able to have mine when feeling like I’m getting a cold 🤦‍♀️ X
