A member asked:

Does vaccination cause erection in baby boys?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can: Any type of intense stimulation can cause an erection in baby boys. I often see it even when I am doing their exams and checking for hernias or hip dislocation. So the stimulation from the shots certainly could bring it on (or up in this case). Nothing to worry about.
