If a child has a URTI or otitis media would they still be able to get their immunizations?

Mild illnesses, with or without fever (e.g., upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media) do not increase the risk of adverse events following immunization or interfere with the response to vaccines. There are no associated contraindications or precautions and these should not be used as a reason to withhold or delay immunization. The single exception is when nasal congestion is present that could impede the delivery of LAIV to the nasopharyngeal mucosa. In such cases, non-live influenza vaccine can be offered.
