Information for Parents

  • Bring your child’s immunisation record card/book with you.
  • Check each point in the poster “Vaccination Regulations”. Your child should receive the vaccine only after the medical staff complies with these regulations.
  • Please provide details of your child’s health status to the medical staff: previous illness, fever, pre-term birth, history of allergy, severe reactions to previous vaccination, and parental history of allergy.
  • Ask the medical staff about the type, expiry date of vaccine and guidelines for post-vaccination monitoring.
  • Monitor your child for 30 minutes after the vaccination, here at FV Hospital, and follow-up at home for at least 24 hours after the vaccination.

Many vaccinations are given as shots (injections). Your child may experience brief pain as the needle penetrates the skin or muscle. We can apply topical anaesthesia (Emla®) on the site of the injection if you request it to the doctor. Some vaccines cause more discomfort than others. In general, you can help decrease your child’s discomfort by making sure that he or she is physically comfortable and well rested before getting immunised.

Most vaccine reactions are mild, temporary, and expected signs that the body is building immunity. These side effects typically resolve on their own within one to three days. You can help relieve some of these common, temporary, mild reactions to vaccinations with basic home care:

  • Fever: a slight fever may occur after your child gets a shot. Acetaminophen (such as Efferalgan®, Hapacol®, Tylenol®) or ibuprofen (such as Brufen®) may help lower a fever. Follow the package instructions carefully. If you give medicine to your baby, follow your doctor’s advice about what amount to give. Check with your doctor first if you are not sure your young baby’s fever is related to getting vaccinations. Aspirin should not be given to children aged under 16 because of the risk of Reye syndrome.
  • Swelling or redness: the area around the injection site may become red and swollen. Apply a wrapped ice pack or cool compress to the area for about 10 to 20 minutes. If this does not reduce the symptoms, acetaminophen or ibuprofen may help relieve the discomfort. Follow the package instructions carefully.
  • Fretfulness and poor appetite: for a few hours after getting immunised, a baby may be fretful and drowsy and may refuse to eat. Plan quiet activities at home for the evening after your child receives an immunisation. Hold and cuddle your child when needed. Keep your home at a comfortable temperature, because your child is more likely to be fretful if he or she gets too warm.
  • Skin rash: a mild skin rash may arise 7 to 14 days after your child gets the chickenpox or Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) shot. These types of rashes can last several days and go away without treatment.
  • Redness and swelling at the site of the shot (injection) last longer than 48 hours.
  • A fever lasts longer than 48 hours after receiving a shot.
  • Any unusual reaction occurs.

Go to the closest hospital’s emergency department if your child develops any of the following symptoms:

  • A seizure.
  • An allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, hives, hoarseness, paleness, weakness, a fast heart rate, or dizziness.
  • Behaviour changes, such as acting confused, being very sleepy or hard to wake up, or not responding to being touched or talked to.
