A member asked:
What happens if an extra vaccine is given to a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No harm: This would be frustrating as no parent wants to know their child endured more than they needed as an extra jab but, no medical danger or harm occurs.Such immune system challenges have been shown to be of no risk but this does not make it any less distressing emotionally to a parent. Ouch.
