My son 1.5 years age got his hepatitis A2 vaccine today. i.e. 30/04/2023. But, we noticed given vaccine was expired 25 days ago ( exp. date written on sticker 06/04/2023) we asked the pediatrician he admitted his carelessness and said there won't be any side affects and efficacy of vaccine will be little less as compared with non expired one. But, I'm very worried now. First time I haven't checked the expiry date and this blunder has happened. Will there be any reactions or side effects of this to my child?
