5. Vaccinations
Common side effects of vaccinations are as follows.
Localized erythema, swelling, and pain, particularly with DTaP and Varicella
vaccines
Pain with injection
Low grade fever (Note that activation of the immune system will cause low
grade fever, which is desired in vaccinations.) Currently, there is not enough
evidence to establish that antipyretic use prior to vaccination has benefit and it
may harm antibody response
Vaccine contraindications in childhood:
Any secondary dose of a vaccine after severe allergic reaction to a prior
vaccination.
If the patient has severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), they should not
have rotavirus, Varicella, measles mumps rubella (MMR), zoster, or live
influenza virus vaccines.
Live influenza virus should also not be used in children with asthma, diabetes,
or cardiac or renal disease. Influenza inactivated injectable vaccine (IIV) can be
used.
-Live viruses not given until 12 months (not effective r/t immature immune system) EX: MMR and
varicella

if not cleared up in 2-3 wks.-burrow solution, oatmeal bath, cool compress, topical
corticosteroid, oral corticosteroids, antihistamines.
B. Diaper Dermatitis- most frequent contact dermatitis

steroids, topical calcineurin inhibitiors) keratolytics (topical salicylic acid, urea),
mineral oil, ketoconazole shampoos
D. Atopic Dermatitis (eczema)- chronic, pruritic inflamm skin disorder w/
acute and chronic eruptions. Skin cannot act as protective barrier, therefore
excessive dryness, cracking, lichenification, and susceptibility to bacteria, virus,
and fungal infection.
-Sx: dry skin, Acute (itching, redness, papules, vesicles, edema, serous
d/c, crusts, lichenification not usually seen) Chronic ( lichenification, scratch

several in diameter, blanch w/ pressure, intensify w/ heat, papulovesicular
lesions
