Getting vaccine while having a cold

I got sick a couple weeks ago and decided once I was better I'd go ahead with the vaccine. 3 tests (at home, PCR, at home) came back negative so I feel certain it wasn't Covid. Only problem is it's 2 weeks later and I'm still coughing and a bit stopped up. It's not much, but I can't shake the damn thing.

Since I'm not fully recovered, is it better to wait for the cold to go away completely? Google seems somewhat split although most of the "you should wait" suggestions seem to be based on the potential one actually has Covid (which again I'm certain I don't). Would a slightly compromised immune system potentially make the side effects worse?

Allergies are awful right now. For a lot of people. Could that be contributing?

Didn't think about that but it's possible. Although I had a sore throat and slight fever (99.3) the first couple days which I've always associated more with a cold than allergies

You likely have a sinus infection at this point or bronchitis from RSV or parainfluenza initial infection. You should probably see a doctor.

Either way you can get a COVID vaccine it is fine.
