Risk to unvaxed?

What concerns, if any, should I have about my unvaxed 14 month old son being around a recently vaxed baby?

 

Thanks for any input or links to more information.

How old is the baby? The only live virus vaccine given to babies under 12 months is rotavirus. He will probably get rotavirus at some point anyway, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Isn't the flu vaccine a live virus or am I mistaken?

The FluMist nasal spray flu vaccine is made with live, weakened virus, but it's not approved for children under 2.  The flu shot does not contain live virus.

The baby just turned 1 month old but we'll see him often for family get-togethers and I'm quite sure his parents will have him fully vaxed and on schedule.

Thanks for the replies. Our doctor only recommends Vitamin D in the D-drop form but I'll look in to the vit A and SA. Thanks again.
