Question re: colds and vaccines
DS has his 4 month appointment soon. Hopefully he'll be better by then, but he has a stuffy nose and a pretty bad cough. The only reaction he had to the 2 month vaccines was that he was sleepy for most of the day.
Would you give your DC vaccines if he or she had a cold? Why or why not?

Re: Question re: colds and vaccines
No never....Its not the vaccine itself, there are ingredients in vaccines that can lower an immune system and I dont take any chances.
To me it can always be re-scheduled a few weeks later.

Re: Question re: colds and vaccines
No. Let their immune system work on the "cold", instead of making it work on a cold and a vaccine.
Wait till the cold is over, IMO and most drs do this as well.

Re: Question re: colds and vaccines
I would wait until the cold is over ~ My Pediatrician does not give vaccines if DS has a cold/sick.

Re: Question re: colds and vaccines
My doctor won't give vaccines when DD is sick. We went in for her 6 month appt and she was sick. The Dr. did the 6 month well visit check up then I went back the next week and the nurse gave the vaccines.

Nope, we wait until DD is perfectly healthy before any vaccines. No sense doing it when her body's not 100%, IMO.

ITA. Not to mention that the immune system should be functioning only to fight the vaccine...KWIM?
