    Q about side effects of 12-month needles

    When can I expect them?

    She had them yesterday at midday, and apart from being a bit more cranky then usual at bedtime (which is also because she didn't sleep yesterday not unusual) theres been nothing. The nurse went on a huge dramatic spiel about rashes and fevers and out-of-this world crankiness, but as yet nothing out of the ordinary. If anything it was a fairly good night only woke 3-4 times.

    She has reacted fairly typically to the other needles, so this one is a bit of a surprise!

    Has anyone else gotten through the 12-month needles easily? Or is this the calm before the storm? lol

    We didn't have any adverse reaction at all apart from a low grade temp. I don't think all kids get the extreme reactions, sounds like the nurse was just being over cautious.

    DS1 had no more of a reaction than he did to any of his other immunisations, mild temp and a little more cranky than usual.

    My eldest three all came out in a rash a week after the vaccinations. I actually called the hospital and asked about it, because it did look like measles and I was already pg again at the time when the older two had it done and they said it was fine, that it can take a few days to a week to come out, so she may be fine now, but if she does come out in a rash it's fine and not contagious.

    Yeah it sure does freak you out if you aren't expecting it. The information I was then given was that it can take 7-10 days for any rash to appear. Would have been nice to get that to start with.
