Both my kids had the Prevnar-13 booster yesterday. This is the new booster for pneumococcal.

DS had an almost immediate reaction - large red patch on his bicep at the needle site but didn't seem to mind it. It was hot but he was ok.

DD now (30 hours on) has a similar reaction on her bicep. Large, red, hot, hard patch. Don't know when it appeared - DH got her dressed this morning and she's been at child care today, no one mentioned it.

DS's has not subsided. Hasn't gotten any worse.

I don't remember either of them reacting like this to the previous Prevnar. Unfortunately the GP is not open...

Is this a typical reaction to Prevnar-13?

Has your child had it and how did they react?
