SHE IS TO ADMITTED AT THAT TIME AFTER VACCINATION PL TELL THANX Doctor: Thanks for your query on health care magic.From history it seems your child develop minor vaccine associated side effect after vaccination for first time. But non of them are serious enough to contraindicate the next vaccination. these side effect are common and not going to adversely affect health of your child. benefits from vaccination is far more then these minor reaction. I advice you to compete the course of all vaccination to take their maximum benefits. regards- dr deepak
