The sneezing and coughing is unlikely caused by the vaccination. However it is quite possible that your dog picked up kennel cough somewhere since. Kennel cough is self limiting and should go away by itself within about 4 weeks. If the cough becomes severe or if Moonshine develops a yellow or green discharge from her nose you should take her to her vet for an exam and some prescription medication.
