After vaccinations

Sometimes children have mild reactions from vaccines, such as pain at the injection site or a rash. These reactions are normal and will soon go away.

  • Ask about the Vaccine Information from your baby’s vaccinator to learn about side effects your baby may experience.
  • Swaddle(wrap a baby, tightly in pieces of cloth or clothes to protect them or keep them warm).
  • Offer breastmilk or formula more often. It is normal for some babies to eat less during the 24 hours after getting vaccines.
  • Pay extra attention to your baby for a few days. If you see something that concerns you, call your baby’s doctor.

Treat mild reactions from vaccines

  • Use a cool, damp cloth to help reduce redness, soreness, and/or swelling at the injection site.
  • Reduce fever with a cool sponge bath.
  • Ask your child’s doctor if you can give your child Paracetamol/Acetaminophen pain reliever.

Risks of Delaying or Skipping Vaccines

If you choose to delay, skip, or reject all or some vaccines entirely, there can be risks. With this decision comes an important responsibility to protect your child’s life, or the life others in your family, community, or other countries you visit.

Parents ask Questions about Baby Vaccines

What are vaccinations?
Vaccinations (vaccines) protect your child against serious diseases by stimulating the immune system to create antibodies against certain bacteria or viruses. Most vaccinations are given as injections.
What diseases do vaccines protect against?
Vaccines protect against diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, polio, tetanus, whooping cough, chickenpox, rotavirus, pneumonia, meningitis, TB and more. Vaccines can’t protect children from minor illnesses like colds, but they can keep children safe from many serious diseases.
Isn’t all this talk about diseases just a way to scare parents so they’ll bring their babies in for shots?
No. These diseases can injure and kill children in India & the world. For example, pertussis is a dangerous disease for infants. In 1980, about 2 million cases of pertussis were reported globally. In 1970, there were 200,932 cases of pertussis in India with 106 deaths attributable to pertussis. Unfortunately, there has been a resurgence of pertussis recently;174,177 cases of pertussis were reported globally and 37,274cases from India in 2016.
I don’t know anybody who has had measles or rubella. Why does my baby need these shots?
You might not think that measles and rubella are a threat today because you don’t see or hear much about them, but they are still around. These diseases are common in India and other parts of the world. If we stop vaccinating against these diseases, many more people will become infected. Vaccinating your child will keep him or her safe.
Isn’t there some way besides vaccination to protect my baby against these diseases?
No. Breastfeeding offers temporary immunity against some minor infections like colds, but it is not an effective means of protecting a child from the specific diseases preventable by vaccines. Likewise, vitamins don’t protect against the specific bacteria and viruses that cause these serious diseases. Of course, infection usually results in immunity, and some parents think that getting the “natural” disease is preferable to “artificial” vaccination. Natural disease can include paralysis, retardation, liver cancer, deafness, blindness, or even death. Vaccination is definitely a better choice!
Are vaccinations safe?
Vaccines are safe, and scientists continually work to make sure they become even safer. Every vaccine undergoes many tests before being licensed, and its safety continues to be monitored as long as the vaccine is in use.
Most side effects from vaccination are minor, such as soreness where the injection was given or a low-grade fever. These side effects do not last long and are treatable. Serious reactions are very rare. The tiny risk of a serious vaccine reaction has to be weighed against the very real risk of getting a dangerous vaccine-preventable disease. If you have concerns or questions, talk to your pediatrician or your vaccination service provider.
What if my baby has a cold or fever, or is taking antibiotics? Can he or she still get vaccinated?
Your child can still be vaccinated if he or she has a mild illness or a low-grade fever, if she is taking antibiotics wait for few days. Ask your paediatrician or vaccination service provider if you have questions.
How do I know when to take my baby in for vaccinations?
Your healthcare provider should give you a reminder when the next doses are due. If you are not sure, call your clinic or vaccination center to find out when you should bring your child back.
What if I miss an appointment? Does my baby have to start the vaccines all over again?
No. If your baby misses some doses, it’s not necessary to start over. Your vaccination service provider will continue from where he or she left off.
How do I keep track of my baby’s vaccine shots?
Your vaccination service provider should give you a personal vaccination record card for your child’s vaccinations. If you don’t receive one, ask! Bring the card to all vaccination appointments. Whenever your child receives a vaccine, make sure the card gets updated. Your child will benefit by retaining an accurate vaccina¬tion record throughout his or her life.
What if my child isn’t a baby anymore? Is it too late to get him or her vaccinated?
No. Although it’s best to have your child be¬gin vaccinations as a newborn, it’s never too late to start. If your child has not received any, or all, of his or her vaccinations, now is the best time to start.
A friendly reminder for parents
Adults need vaccinations, too! Call your clinic or vaccination service provider to find out what vaccina¬tions you might need. Your baby is counting on you!
