It went away a few days later.

He was fine the next morning. artsyfartsy on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine/page/2#post-2021760 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:27:03 +0000 artsyfartsy 2021760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ One time he had a little fever and quite a bit of crankiness. The other times he may have been just a little bit fussy but not much. lisa1783 on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine/page/2#post-2021724 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:04:58 +0000 lisa1783 2021724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My dr told me that if you breastfeed them immediately after the vaccination, it usually helps to mitigate their symptoms. I always did afterwards and my LO never usually had any reaction. It might not be related but at least it comforted him so he wasn't screaming anymore. :) littlebittyhouse on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine/page/2#post-2021711 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 09:59:47 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2021711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ yes. we could never do more than two vacs at a time. his 2 month shots were a horror show (rash, swelling and a fever that landed us in the ER!) 2 month shots were about the same and then we decided to split them up. after that reactions were way less severe. he had a dairy allery so i think that had something to do with it. most vacs contain casien. yoursilverlining on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021678 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 09:39:45 +0000 yoursilverlining 2021678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just low grade fevers the day after some vaccines (but who knows whether the fever was caused by the vaccine, or just happened to be the day after) ash427 on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021667 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 09:36:34 +0000 ash427 2021667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 2 months - low fever and fussy 4 months - nothing swurlygurl on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021627 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 09:13:54 +0000 swurlygurl 2021627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ L had a lump at the injection site once, and got super super mild chickenpox after the chickenpox vaccine. For 2 month and 4 month shots she was really sleepy afterwards, but nothing concerning.

She was a little crabby the day she got like, 3 shots...but I think it's because her legs were tender and the bandaids left big red marks. looch on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021495 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 07:19:14 +0000 looch 2021495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not once.

He also had vomiting after his meningitis B vax this past year, but I'm not totally sure if it was a reaction to the vax or some sort of virus because it was 4-5 days later. DD never had any reactions until she got the MMR and had a high fever followed by a rash. She just got another vax yesterday and had a fever during the night but seems fine today. jape14 on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021403 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 03:04:30 +0000 jape14 2021403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ After his 2-month shots, he was very sleepy, clingy, and fussy, and then wound up with a fever in the middle of the night that night. No fever after the 4-month shots because the ped okayed giving Tylenol before bed to preempt dealing with one in the MOTN, but still very clingy, fussy, and sleepy. My policy (after the 2-month shots where he was awake for a few hours in the MOTN with a fever and fussiness) is that I will only schedule appointments with vaccines on Fridays so we can nap the next day if his nighttime sleeping gets messed up!

My littlest seems fine immediately after, and then screams and screams about 6 hours, for hours, after each round. every. time. erwoo on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021387 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 02:12:39 +0000 erwoo 2021387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My oldest never reacted to a vaccine until recently when he got his 4-6 year old varicella (chicken pox) booster. The area around his injection site turned red and round about 3 inches wide. He had a low grade fever of 99/100 for a day and the redness went away in about 3 days. He was fine otherwise and we just monitored. I gave him some claritin (it was all I had) just in case. meganmp on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021351 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 00:10:20 +0000 meganmp 2021351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Cranky after their 4 months shots, that's it. pinkcupcake on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021304 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 23:14:00 +0000 pinkcupcake 2021304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope!

I think it might've been the Rotovirus shot, I can't remember. She also got pretty good size knots at the injection sites for awhile. The last couple vaccines have been reaction free. marionberry on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021277 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:50:57 +0000 marionberry 2021277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Fevers every time and his flu shots really make him sick. lawbee11 on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021274 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:46:56 +0000 lawbee11 2021274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, nada. autumnlove on "Has your child ever had a reaction to a vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-child-ever-had-a-reaction-to-a-vaccine#post-2021269 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 22:44:33 +0000 autumnlove 2021269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Super sleepiness for LO 2.

She got a temporary bump from another that caused MIL to call the doctor while we were on vacation (oops, should have told her about the vaccines). Nothing major. My nephew had one of the moderate reactions listed on the CDC site above. Frequency of 1 in 40,000. He was hospitalized for five days. He still got the booster which I thought took a lot of faith on my SIL's part. It made me very nervous to vaccinate my LO.

He dealt with the second shot just fine, even though he got it the same day as MMR (I wasn't at the appointment and was very ticked off that DH asked for two "difficult" shots in one day).
