Relevant information that needs to be shared If your child had a severe allergic reaction to previous vaccination or a vaccine ingredient Babies often develop a sore leg or mild fever after vaccination. However, let your healthcare provider know if your baby has ever had a serious reaction. A few uncommon reactions such as anaphylaxis or febrile seizure could be the reason not to get another dose of a specific vaccine. Milder allergies aren’t a problem, so don’t worry if your child might have allergies you are unaware of. Before the vaccination visit If you have a vaccination record card for your child, take it along with you so that the healthcare provider can enter the vaccine details administered during that visit. If your baby is getting the first vaccination(s), ask for a vaccination record card. This record could come in handy later to share the necessary information on your child’s vaccination, for example, if your child is getting into a school, you are moving to a different location, switching doctors, or traveling abroad. 17
