A. Vaccination during mild illnesses, such as a cold or cough, is generally considered safe, especially if your baby is otherwise healthy and doesn't have a fever or severe symptoms. Here are a few points to consider: 1. Mild Illness: If your baby has a mild cold or cough without a fever or significant distress, vaccination can usually proceed as planned. 2. Consult Your Pediatrician: It’s always best to check with your healthcare provider before scheduling vaccinations during illness. They can assess your baby’s overall health and advise whether it’s appropriate to proceed. 3. Monitoring Symptoms: If your baby develops a fever (typically over 101°F or 38.3°C) or more severe symptoms, it might be advisable to postpone the vaccination until they have recovered. 4. Vaccination Benefits: Staying up to date with vaccinations is important for your baby's health and helps protect them against preventable diseases. In summary, while it’s often safe to vaccinate a baby with a mild cold or cough, consulting with your pediatrician is essential to ensure your baby’s specific situation is evaluated.
