Hi I had 2 cats one of them was 2 months old and after 2 months she got sick and the doctors told me she got FIP and she will die and there is no way to keep she alive and unfortunately she dead after a few weeks...doctors told me your other cat got this disease 100% and i think he got this disease too because he has the same symptoms.i lost all of my hopes and i think he will die too but he is alive after 7 months! My question is that should i vaccine him anymore? Or i shouldn’t due to disease

So sorry to hear this. No. Please don't vaccinate. His immune system is already compromised and the vaccinations will put a strain on him and could advance his FIP. Just keep him indoors so he can't infect any other cats.
