SIDE-EFFECTS
All vaccinations may cause fever and with that febrile convulsions. Certain mild adverse events are seen so frequently that they are considered probable, whereas serious reactions to vaccination are extremely rare. Adverse events should be reported to the Danish Medicines Agency, which is responsible for monitoring the occurrence of side-effects. Permanent damages should be reported to the Danish National Board of Industrial Injuries.
DTaPIPV/Act-Hib basic vaccination and dTaPIPV re-vaccination
Redness and swelling at the injection site and possibly fever may occur a couple of hours after vaccination. This reaction may last about 48 hours and is harmless.
MMR og rubella vaccination
As the vaccine contains live, attenuated virus, the child may get symptoms slightly similar to the disease following vaccination. Fever, common cold or exanthema (or skin rash) may occur from about one week until three weeks after vaccination. The children are not infectious for the diseases. More information may be obtained from the package leaflets.
Contraindications
Allergy towards the vaccine components or previous severe allergic reactions following vaccination. Contraindications are further described in the package leaflets. In case of acute illness with fever, vaccination should be postponed. Common cold without fever is not a reason to postpone vaccinations. Children who are ill or are being investigated for an illness should not be vaccinated until their condition is stationary.
