Immunizations

What to expect after your child receives immunizations:

• Fever.
• Localized swelling, soreness, redness.
• Irritability.
• If given the Varicella or MMR, you may experience a rash, which can occur from the time the shot was given and up to two weeks after the shot was given.
• Bruising

 What you can do: 

• Tylenol and/or Ibuprofen (depending on age and weight).
• Warm compress/warm bath.
• Massage.

These are very common side effects that can last a few days. If there are any concerns, please discuss with the doctor before leaving or call our office.
