6 weeks baby has cold

2022-09-19 10:37:56
My 49 days old son got his 6th week vaccination 4 days ago. His weight is 3.9 kg. He has caught mild cold from his elder sister and is sneezing since yesterday, with runny nose. He doesn't have a fever, temperature is below 99. I'm worried if the cold will have any impact on the efficacy of the vaccine he got 4 days ago. Asking this because doctors usually avoid giving vaccine when the baby has cold cough or fever.
