My 2-month-old baby will be getting his first vaccines. What can I do after the vaccine if he cries or reacts?

Good evening Madam,

From my experience as a dad and a pharmacist, I can confirm that the 2 month vaccine is very very well tolerated by children. The vast majority will find the comfort they need to stop the little cries in mom or dad's arms. And for those very few whose crying would not stop in a few minutes in moms arms, we simply make sure to distract them, to change the "focus".

We avoid giving Tylenol or Tempra before the injection or in the minutes following it, as this could decrease the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Happy evening :)
