Kennel cough vaccine

I’ve been advised by the vets that my dog can’t have his kennel cough vaccine yet as we have a 4 week old baby at home. They can’t advise when he can have it as they can’t make that call apparently. Has anyone else been through this? How old was your baby when your dog had the vaccine?
