AIBU to go ahead and vaccinate anyway?

[LondonBetti]

DD is nearly 3 months and due first vaccinations today.

Older DS has been up all night sneezing, coughing, tummy ache. Has done a fair bit of sneezy germ sharing with DD over the past few days so likely that she will catch whatever it is.

DH wants to delay the vaccinations in case DD is brewing something. Would it be very UR to go ahead anyway as she's late getting the first set of injections and I'd like protection to start?

If she is not showing any signs I would go ahead otherwise they could always be brewing something and you could keep putting it off. The nurse will ask if she is poorly before she gives the vaccine, she will then decide if it's OK.

Another one for If she's otherwise well and showing no symptoms, go ahead and vaccinate. Otherwise you'll always be waiting for the bug she may be harbouring to show up. And then there will be another, and another...

I think it would be quite unreasonable not too.

I called the nurse about vaccinating ds2 at the same age in exactly this situation. She said to go ahead and vaccinate anyway. We did he was fine.

There's rarely a week in world of small children when somebody hasn't got a sniffle. You could be waiting forever!

If she isnt il take her its fine a pp has just said about if you left it to when nobody was ill you would never gp

They won't do the vaccinations if she has a temperature. Otherwise a cold is fine.

My DS had a cold and the dr still advised me to vaccinate. Trying to get a clear week when no one has a cold is impossible!

That's great to hear - will just go ahead then. Sod's law that it's today he gets sick, breaking an incredible 4-month snot-free run in the house!

DS2 had his 3rd lot of vaccines yesterday and he has been really chesty and nasally, I told the nurse and she said as long as he hasn't had a temp he'd be ok. And touch wood he's been fine.. but one leg has an awful lump and rash it isn't bothering him though.
