How dangerous would it be if child accidentally given extra dose of dtap- 15 mo old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaccines : If you are asking if an extra dose was given in the same day then one may see some addition fever or fussiness but not something to panic about. If your question is that the child got and addition dose another day then there would not be any addition reaction but there would be additional immunity. Also no need to worry. Vaccines are very safe and reactions are rare.
