Vaccination Side Effects II

The side effects that Juliane suffered after taking her booster Tdap vaccine has subsided somewhat. There is less pain, the swelling has started to go down and the redness has subsided too. I think by tomorrow, the side effects would have disappeared. Thank goodness. The side effects definitely caused some concerns. :(

Vaccination Side Effects

Juliane took her booster shot of Tdap vaccine just this Saturday past. The vaccine is supposed to protect adolescents from tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. 
Today, her upper arm where the shot was given started swelling and there was pain and redness. The swelling felt very warm to the touch as well. :( I had Juliane applied the ice pack to her arm, hoping to reduce the redness and swelling. 
Will check with the doc tomorrow if this is normal as Juliane has never experienced any side effects for her other vaccination shots.
