What Happens If 4 Shots Of DPT Vaccine Is Given To A Baby?

Hi Doctor, is there any adverse effect if my baby had 4 shots of DPT vaccine and 4 shots of Polio drops? Each one had one month interval. The health nurse wasn't able to update my son's vaccination record during the third month and so she mistakenly gave my baby a 4th shot on the 4th month.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns,
Recceving 4 shots of DPT vaccine and Polio drops is not going to cause any long term adverse effects apart from local side effects and fever caused at time of shot.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
