a severe allergic response.
Rarely do people have a severe allergic response to vaccinations. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the risk of such an adverse response occurring after vaccinating your kid is less than one in a million.
Even so, monitoring your youngster for any adverse effects following vaccination is prudent.
Reporting Adverse Reactions To Vaccines
The United States government set up the Vaccination Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) to track and analyze reports of vaccine side effects. By shedding light on trends in adverse responses, researchers get insight that may be used to review vaccinations if they are ineffective. Self-reporting may be encouraged by calling (800) 822-7967 or filing a report online.
In the very unlikely event that a kid has a serious response to a vaccination, the federal government has developed a program to assist families in affording medical treatment. Get more information by dialing (800) 338-2382 to reach the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
