Vaccination Instruction

  1. BCG Vaccination - does not give rise to any immediate fever. After 4-6weeks a small red swelling will appear at the site of inoculation. This will finally disappear over a period of next 4 months, leaving a tiny scar.
  2. DPT Vaccination- generally causes fever, pain and swelling at the site of inoculation, which generally disappears by 24-36hrs. This requires medicine for fever like paracetamol round the clock for one to two days in some children, a small nodule can be felt at the site of vaccination. Which may take a longer time to disappear.
  3. Polio Vaccine- Polio vaccine has no side effects. I must emphasize here that pulse polio should be given to every child every time till the age of 5 years, irrespective of whether child has had regular vaccination or not. Children can be given breast feeding soon after giving polio drops.
