Looking after a child who has just received immunisation
Your child has been given a TETANUS, DIPTHERIA, POLIO (*and WHOOPING
COUGH) BOOSTER Injection and will therefore not need to have their scheduled *pre-school / *school leaving dose.
Local reactions, such as pain, redness and swelling round the injection site may sometimes occur and persist for several days – Paracetamol as advised may help.
Other uncommon reactions may include headache, lethargy (tiredness), nausea, muscle pain and temperature.
If you require any further advice or reactions persist contact your G.P.
The Trust recognises the importance of Further Information multi-agency working: to safeguard children and young people.
