We have had 0 issues with vaccines so far, and he's 21 months. He doesn't have an egg allergy, though, so I can't comment on that. I actually don't even remember them saying anything about egg allergies except for the flu shot, so they obviously didn't see it as something to worry about.

My first LO never had any reactions to vaccines. But my second did get a high fever after getting the MMR. She wasn't "sick" per se, it was an expected reaction from the vaccine, and we gave Tylenol to treat it, once it hit. It actually came about almost a week after the vaccine. It was gone in around 24 hours and she didn't seem too uncomfortable with it (since the Tylenol worked well, I think).

Here are the mild side effects as listed on CDC website:
Fever (up to 1 person out of 6)
Mild rash (about 1 person out of 20)
Swelling of glands in the cheeks or neck (about 1 person out of 75)
If these problems occur, it is usually within 7-12 days after the shot. They occur less often after the second dose.

^ You can see that some reactions take place 7-12 days after the vaccine. Hope they schedule you soon so there's enough time between the shot and your vacation! Also hope he doesn't have any reactions!

@SugarplumsMom: will you let us know how it goes with the MMR/egg allergy? We delayed for the same reason.

My LO got her MMR vax the day before she started taking Augmentin. One week later, she had a horrible reaction to one of them (docs still don't know for sure which one it was). She ran a fever, and had a wicked rash over practically her entire body. Personally, I am leaning toward a reaction to the Augmentin, but I don't know for sure. It took her a couple of days to bounce back, but she didn't have any other issues outside of the fever (never higher than 101) and the rash (didn't seem to be itchy at all).

LO got a rash, fevered and was kinda sluggish but not till about a week afterwards. I was very worried that it was going change her permanently because she was just so different. She got over it and returned back to normal about a week later.

My LO got hers at 6 months (will have another dose at 12 months) because of travel, and had no reaction.
