Elevated white blood cell count possible after dtap/hib vaccine, shoudl i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necesarily: The shots will stimulate a non specific stress response and can transiently double the WBC count. It usually settles down within a day.The differential pattern of such a reaction shows a pattern of mature rather than new white cells.
