My 4 yrs old son still has some cough after viral. is it ok to get his immunization shots or should i wait till he has no cough or it doesn't matter ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Okay for shots: The main contraindication for shots is fever above 101F. Okay to have shots while recovering from viral infection even if cough is persisting.
