Due for Chicken Pox Vax, but has a cold

[~*Niadalla*~]

Hi.
I was planning on getting DS' 18mth vax done today, but he has a cold. Is this a huge problem? It's just a bit of a chesty cough that he can't take anything for and a runny nose. He still eats, sleeps and acts normally.... including destroying the house.

Can I still get him Vaxxed?

Don't take him. Even if you think he's OK, the Dr wouldn't give it to him anyway because his immune system is already compromised by his cold. Wait till he's over it and then take him. It doesn't have to be done bang on 18mths so it will be fine to wait.
