Vaccine fever: It is not uncommon for low grade fevers to develop following vaccination and this is generally not cause for concern. At times, babies develop fever shortly after vaccination, not due to the immunization, but because of a developing infection. Careful observation and supportive care are warranted.

Routine reaction: This is common and does not mean baby is having a reaction that will mean learning disabilities or anything else in years to come.While it is hard to be a parent these days with so much conflicting information passed around, this is one you can ignore.
