A member asked:
Is it abnormal for my 3 year old to develop hives around the injection site of a flu vaccine? they didn't show up until the next day.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Injection site Rx: An injection site reaction is the appearance of skin changes and irritation at the location of an injection. Such reactions can be especially common with some types of drugs and in other cases might be the result of allergies or sensitivities. Some can be dangerous. If a patient notices skin changes, it is important to contact a doctor or nurse to discuss them.
