A. Hi! All vaccines have side effects. Pneumonia vaccine is usually well tolerated by majority of babies. It has side effects like fever, local pain, redness etc which is not serious and usually seen in 10 percent cases only. But pneumonia vaccine is important and all doses as per schedule should be taken. thanks.

A. Just normal fever and body pains. If there is a pain and little swelling, give a hot compress to baby. Soak a cotton cloth in hot water squeeze it and gently press on injected area. Avoid cold compress as it sometimes may lead to cold. If there is heavy swelling or puss or heavy redness then immediately you should see your doctor.
