Should you note any of the following an injection call the pediatrician immediately.  This is not just for your baby's sake but also so the dr. can report the response to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System.  Collection sna devaluation of such information may help reduce future risks.

I know some of the things I listed sound a bit obvious, but there are some ppl out there that would not take their child to the doctor IF some of those things happened.  I just thought I would share this information with all the mothers out there!
