Should I postpone jabs??

My Dd1 is booked up for her 3 year 5 month jabs tomorrow, but she has been coughing lots at night the last couple of weeks and also has complained a couple of times that it hurts a bit when she wees (not every time). She doesn't have a fever and is okay in herself during the daytimes, eating and drinking fine. Would you postpone jabs till recovered, or get them done still? Thanks for any advice!

Call docs and ask. Don't postpone unless you really have too. My DP didn't have jabs as a child, caught measles and as a result is very very deaf and has awful eyes sight. Not worth the risk IMHO

I think that many doctors nowadays want to wait as some results suggest that the immune response as weaker if they have an illness whilst being vaccinated. Clearly, straight away try to reschedule for in a few weeks so you don't forget it.
