My kittens had a URI. When is it safe to get them vaccinated?

My kittens caught a URI when they were three-weeks-old. After a huge amount of nursing and treatment they are doing great and are just about to turn eight weeks old. I was wondering when it would be safe to get them vaccinated?

If they are better from the URI, then I would recommend to go ahead and get them their first set of shots now. Most vets will recommend to give them a total of 3-4 sets of shots to help build their immune system.
