Aw, I'm sorry to see that Cat isn't feeling so great! It is highly unlikely that the vaccine actually caused this condition to occur. Vaccines can certainly cause immunosuppression, but I do not believe that this is the direct cause of vaccination. Vaccine reactions almost always occur within minutes to hours after the shot is received. It is likely that your kitty has come down with an upper respiratory infection that will require treatment. Antibiotics, ophthalmic medication, and immunosupportive care will all be required. If she has a fever, she may also require some anti-inflammatory medication and fluids. I would get her to the vet some time today, or tomorrow at the latest for care. Hope this helps.
