Vaccinations while sick

Ok, so this question will be answered soon enough, just wanted to know what to expect.  DS has his 6 month shots today.  He has a bit of a cough, congestion and a runny nose, especially when he first wakes up.  Not running a fever and certainly feeling well enough for daycare.  Very active and eating fine.  Will they still give him his shots? What about if he has an ear infection?  I feel like he has chronic daycare crud that will hang around until summer.

My LO had similar symptoms at his 6-month well-baby exam last week.  When I asked the doc your same question, he said it would be OK to continue with the vaccinations.

It depends how "strict" your Pedi is, but i would guess that they would give him his shots.

They went ahead and gave Lilly her shots even though she had a nasty cold for like a month.

Thanks ladies.  I figured it would be ok, but just wanted to be prepared to have to make another appt.
