My child's arm is getting red, itchy, and swollen after his shot. is this normal?

Yes: This forum is often asked about vaccines.Most of us agree the "shots" are very important and local reactions are usually not dangerous nor serious.If your child shows signs of fever over 102.00 or seems ill please contact you dr. Asap.
