We at Biogetica choose to take the middle path and present the facts exactly as they are. Our doctors prepared these posts to answer the most pressing questions parents have today about raising healthy children. This post is a follow-up on the Immunity post by Dr. Gauri Mane on Vaccine Side Effects.
This niggling concern is present in most of us every time we give our children or ourselves a shot. As with any medication, vaccinations can have side effects. Vaccines undergo constant monitoring for their safety. The decision to not immunize a child can be risky. It could cause your child, and anyone who comes into contact with them, to contract a potentially fatal disease.
While all vaccines can cause side effects, they are usually mild and do not last very long. Consult your doctor if you have any doubts about a particular illness or suspect a side effect.
Side effects that are common include:
An allergic reaction is a serious side effect of vaccines. It’s also called an anaphylactic reaction. They are rare but can be life-threatening. If treated correctly and promptly by any healthcare professional, they are completely reversible.
The most common side effects of injections in infants and young children occur at the injection site. The most common side effects in babies and young children are at the injection site.
You don’t need to take any action. These symptoms will usually disappear within a few days. Try to keep your child cool when they develop a temperature. Make sure your child is not overdressed and that they drink plenty of fluids. Instead of giving them a shower, sponge them on or use a fan. After consulting with your pediatrician, you can give them liquid paracetamol and ibuprofen.
