The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) instructs Physicians on these procedures and it appears that the Dr. did not complete the paperwork correctly.

Here is a small excerpt:
General contraindications for the administration of a vaccine include:
Severe (anaphylactic) allergic reaction to a vaccine component or following a prior dose of a vaccine
Severely immunocompromised conditions that contraindicate receiving live attenuated vaccines, notably MMR, varicella, and intranasal influenza vaccines
Pregnancy as a contraindication for receiving live attenuated vaccines for MMR, varicella, and intranasal influenza
Encephalopathy not due to another identifiable cause as a contraindication if it occurs within 7 days of pertussis vaccination.
The following conditions are not contraindications for the administration of a vaccine:
Mild to moderate local reactions to a previous dose of vaccine
Mild acute illness (e.g., low-grade fever, upper respiratory infection, diarrhea)
Recovering from an illness
Pregnancy for receiving Td, Tdap, inactivated influenza, or hepatitis B vaccine
Breastfeeding
Antimicrobial therapy
Tuberculin skin testing.
Some precautions to vaccination include:
Moderate to severe acute illness
Any of the following after a previous dose of DTP or DTaP:
Fever ≥40.5° C (≥105° F) that is not attributed to another identifiable cause and occurs within 48 hours after vaccination
Collapse or shock-like state (that is, a hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode), occurring within 48 hours after vaccination
Persistent, inconsolable crying lasting 3 hours or more, occurring within 48 hours after vaccination
Convulsions with or without fever, occurring within 3 days after vaccination.
In general, vaccines are deferred when a precaution condition is present. If the decision to defer a vaccine is made, the precaution condition should be recorded as a medical condition and the "Contraindication" waiver box on Form I-693 must be checked.
