VACCINATION REACTIONS
These are normal reactions after receiving injections for immunisations against any illness and will occur in adults and children alike. They can take two forms:-
Pain, redness and swelling at the site of the injection. This can be relieved by the application of an ice-pack (a half pound bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel makes a convenient ice pack).
A cold-like illness which can occur up to 10 days after the vaccination is given and up to four weeks after MMR.
