Baby had 4 shots for her 1 year check up a week ago. near 1 injection site is a rash, feels hard underneath and the rash is feverish. is this normal?

See doc: If the warm red area took a week to show up it may be that she has an infection at the shot site. Call or see the doc today or tomorrow. If she has fever over 100, increasing redness or pain, or is acting sick go to the ER if you can'[t reach your doc..

It is common: Vaccines often cause local skin reactions around the site of injection. Local reactions to vaccines include soreness, swelling, redness, rash, and increased warmth. Applying ice or giving Tylenol (acetaminophen) by mouth may relieve any associated discomfort. Local reactions to vaccines usually resolve in a few days. It is a good idea to report this reaction to the baby's doctor at next appointment.
