Some minor reactions may be caused by the vaccination. However, they are negligible, considering the protection that your child receives with this vaccine. The most commonly reported adverse reactions are injection-site reactions, fever, decreased appetite and increased or decreased sleep.5
The following tips will help you identify and minimize mild side effects: use a cool, wet cloth to reduce redness, soreness, and swelling in the place where the shot was given, reduce any fever with a cool sponge bath. If your doctor approves, give pain reliever (paracetamol), give your child lots of fluids. It’s normal for some children to eat less during the 24 hours after getting vaccines.7
