A Parent’s Guide to Childhood Immunization

What precautions should be taken after vaccination? 22 Discuss the side effects of the vaccine with your doctor or go through the vaccine information sheet to learn more about the possible side effects your child may experience. Watch out for symptoms of severe reactions for the next few days including convulsions, joint stiffness, or high fever for more than two days. Call your doctor immediately for any concerns. For mild fever, you may also use a sponge bath. Add more liquids to your child’s diet. Consult your doctor before giving any non-aspirin pain reliever to your child.
