Will they distribute you a inoculation if you enjoy a cold/possibly flu?

i need hep A, and sickly fever, and i hold a pretty nasty cold. is it ok to travel ahead and get the shots, or do i have need of to wait till im on form?Will they distribute you a inoculation if you enjoy a cold/possibly flu?
As a rule, as long as you are not running a fever, most doctors will still give a vaccination against you. It's up to them, though to make the ring up. The Yellow Fever vaccine is a bit rough and can cause a confusion on it's own, so they may prefer to defer it until you are healthy again. Call the department and explain to them, they will let you know what their policy is.
From the research I've done (mostly on childhood vaccines though), you can still return with a vaccine with a mild cold. I'd bid ahead and ask..
docs prefer you healthy. It borders risks associated with vaccination.
Best to wiat till you are feeling better as the vaccines can bestow you side effects as well such as restlessness.
