A member asked:
Is there any risk of problems if my child was given an extra dose of dtap vaccine?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This vaccine has been remarkable since it was modified & re-released in ~1992. The frequency of any side effects like fever, crying spells etc went from expected to almost non-existent. Other than feel sore at the site, the kid should have no issues with the added dose but may have a little better immunity.

No: Research has amply proven that an extra dose of this vaccine causes no harm and may provide stronger immunity.
