[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2 year old caught a cold yesterday, and she’s scheduled to get a flu shot in a couple days. She is coughing a little and has a slightly runny nose/occasional sneeze. I’ve read that you’re supposed to recover from illness before getting a vaccine [b]because it may make you feel sicker.[/b] But I’m 36 weeks pregnant and would really like to have her vaccinated before I give birth. If you’ve gotten your toddler a flu shot while mildly ill with a cold, how did they react? I will have her mask at the office, and I’m sure it’s not Covid because she recovered from that a couple weeks ago. [/quote] I think this is incorrect. I believe that the potential issue is that your immune response may not be as great to the shot because it is already fighting another infection. But given that you are about to have a baby, I would proceed.[/quote]
