How long to wait for vaccine after illness?

[Fullywhelmed]

My 17 year old was due to have his first vaccine last week. He couldn't have it as he came down the day before with a nasty fluey cold - high temp, sneezing, coughing etc. We did a PCR for covid which was negative. He actually had covid back in April.

He isn't too bad now but still has a hacking cough.

How long should we wait for him to get his vaccine? Should I give it a clear week from symptoms (except cough) ending? Is there any official guidance?

I would as soon as his temp has gone. I think that’s the only reason they say to delay and if you actually have covid.

I got my second when I was on antibiotics for an infection and feeling super run down but they said it was fine and it didn’t make me feel worse

You have to wait 4 weeks from date symptoms started - I know because this happened to my daughter.

But Ops son didn’t have covid, pcr was
Negative

Oh sorry. That'll teach me to skim read.

Ah thanks. I will take him down later this week then.
