According to the notes I'm reading, they don't want you to be really ill when you get vaccinated, but don't exclude it if you have mild symptoms, or are well on the way to recovery.
You can get the DPT vaccine any time during the year (once a decade or so). I'm not sure what other vaccines would be pertinent. They tend not to give pneumococcus vaccine until age 65.
And, of course, the Shingles vaccine. Approved for 50+, but apparently the CDC is still recommending it at 60+
