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 (Vaccine Breakdown) Hep B: 1.
