However, the situation depends on the type of vaccine and how much leaked out. In most cases, a small amount of leakage (like 4 drops) does not usually require an additional dose, as the majority of the vaccine would have still been delivered into the body.
Here's what you can do:
1. Check with the Pediatrician: It's always best to consult the pediatrician or the healthcare provider who administered the vaccine. They may want to verify whether the full dose was given or if a re-dose is necessary.
2. Vaccine Type: Some vaccines, especially oral vaccines (like rotavirus), can have a small amount of leakage. For injectable vaccines, if there was leakage, it would depend on the site of injection and how much was lost.
3. No Immediate Concern: In general, if only a small amount leaked and the rest was administered properly, there may be no need for an additional dose. However, it's always a good idea to follow up with the healthcare provider to confirm.
Make sure to keep track of your baby’s immunization schedule and ensure that all vaccinations are completed on time for maximum protection.
