My babies were born 1 month premature and they just recieved their 6 in 1 and rotavirus jabs on their 2nd month that they were born. The PD had warned that one of the side effects was fever and gave us paracetamol for the bbs just in case, but she said only a small percentage of bbs get it, so we didnt worry abt it. The next day they developed fever 39 deg we gave them the medicine that the PD gave. fever went down after taking the med but went up again to 39 again a few hours later, as the med has worn off. I gave them the med again.. so now monitoring closely..

i checked up the internet to try to find out how long such fever will last but didnt get an answer, but i found articles that says should take vaccinations one by one and not those super jabs like 6 in1 as it could be too strong for the babies. etc.. sigh. give me a fright. i'm worried about the fever as they are so young. What if the fever cause further side effects like damage their internal organs/ brains their corrected age is only 1 month but doc say jabs shd be based on actual age so taking the 6 in 1 jab now is fine.

any one of ur babies has fever side effects? how long does it last?

I remember asking my PD when is a good time for my son to take the rotavirus jab and she suggested about 6 mths corrected age.

my dd had fever on her first jab. it just lasted on that day and night. next mornng ok liao. should not be longer i think. fever is the body reacting to the medicine.

err my rota is oral one le

my rota also oral type. my son taken twice already both 2gether with pneumococal jab. got fever but last only 1 day.

my PD's take is base more on the weight of bb and corrected age to give the jab.

Here's an interesting article about vaccinations, just to share:
