I am being treated for suspected Lyme with an antibiotic. Can I get vaccinated against dengue?

Dear reader, you can safely undergo the dengue vaccine. The action of antibiotics does not make the vaccine less effective nor does it have any impact on its effectiveness. And, vice versa, the vaccine does not compromise the action of antibiotic therapy in any way. Since there are no interactions between the two treatments, you can undergo the vaccine and continue the therapy without problems or risks.
