A member asked:
Can i take my 16month old to get her vaccine if she has a runny nose and cough? i have not given her any cortisone meds and she doesnt have a fever

Yes: Minor illness is not a reason to delay vaccines. If a kid is obviously sick/not eating or playing it may be reasonable to wait, but for most it is not. The immune system is quite capable of dealing with both issues at the same time.
