Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Lialda can interact with a number of medications including some antiviral medications and some of the other medications used to modify the immune system.

At present, however, there are no known interactions with hepatitis b vaccine.

She should be ok taking the vaccine with lialda.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
