Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Side Effects Of Yellow Fever Vaccine And Meningococcal Vaccine?
my baby got yellow fever vaccine and meningococcal vaccine four days ago,he seemed fine but lam scared to death after reading the side effect of both vaccine, he is four yrs old, please tell me what should l watch for and how long inorder to know the vaccine is no gonna harm him.
Both these are commonly used vaccines in children and any significant side effect is very uncommon. All possible side effects are listed only to be aware of, and you need not worry. This is like saying there is risk of accident while driving- there is risk but that do happen only occasionally.
Most of the children do not experience any side effect other than some fever, soreness at the site, and sometimes a transient rash. As it is already 4 days post vaccination, chance of any major side effect like allergy or anaphylaxis is out. Just be confident. Nothing will happen
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
