Vaccinated pregnant kitten

That's fine.  Mom will let them know when she's had enough.  Some kittens nurse for a couple more months.

Kittens will nurse as long as mom lets them. It's mostly for comfort at this point, but it's okay. My kittens nursed their mom for about 4 months.

You can have mom spayed now, by the way.

I called the vet and they won't do it until 1 to 2 weeks after they are done nursing.

That could be a long time, and she'll be in heat soon and getting pregnant again. I hope you're keeping her inside all the time.

Most vets will tell you they prefer to spay a cat who is not in heat or nursing. That's because the surgery takes a little more work to tie off the engorged blood vessels. It's for the vet's convenience.

I suggest you call back and tell them you'd like her spayed now regardless, and if they refuse, find another vet who will.

I just had a stray mom spayed and she was still nursing, 4 months into it! She came through beautifully and acts like nothing happened!

So vaccinating a pregnant cat didnt harm them? Do they still have shakey legs or did they grow out of it?
