What vaccinations cause the temperature?
Vaccination or inoculation is the introduction into the human body of a dead or very weakened disease stamp, thank to which this organism produces antibodies for the destruction of the causative agent and, accordingly, immunity. Some vaccinations that are used in modern medicine cause a certain reaction( immune response) in the human body, usually children endure the vaccinations more painfully than adults.
Such vaccinations are used against viruses - these are rubella, parotitis, poliomyelitis, measles, hepatitis B, rotavirus infection, and also against bacteria, such as whooping cough, diphtheria, hemophilia, tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus. There are two types of reactions to vaccinations:
- local usually appears with subcutaneous injection and is visible as a swelling at the injection site;
- common reactions are very often expressed as a general increase in body temperature, sore throat, headache, joint aches and muscles.
These reactions are not dangerous to the health of both the adult and the baby, however, when they occur or before vaccination, consultation with the doctor is necessary. Sometimes in children the temperature after vaccination rises above 38 ° C, this temperature should be knocked down already, in order to ease the burden on the young organism.
Vaccines and their adverse reactions
DTP( whole-cell pertussis component) and its double AaDS( acellular component of pertussis) are made for the prevention of pertussis, tetanus, diphtheria and cause fever in complications that are extremely rare( 1 in 16,000 children).The temperature can rise above 40 ° C.
The anti-tuberculosis vaccination, which is first done in the maternity hospital, does not give a general reaction, but the second so-called revaccination is done at 7, 11-12, 16-17 years and causes malaise, as well as a slight increase in temperature that occurs inFor several days.
The measles vaccine given to a child in the first year and a half of life almost never provokes adverse reactions, but it happens that a low temperature appears on the fourth to the eighth days after vaccination.
Vaccine against mumps is injected with measles vaccination. The vaccine causes short-term swelling of the salivary glands, which remains unnoticed even for the child, in a few cases can cause a slight rise in temperature.
Vaccination against diphtheria and tetanus or ADS is performed at 3-6 and 18 months sometimes causes coughing, redness at the injection site and in 5% of cases the temperature rises to 38 ° C.
The vaccine against hepatitis B has a complex name H-B-VAX II and is conducted in 3 stages at any age. In a fifth of the vaccinated, it causes fever, fatigue and soreness at the injection site.
Against hepatitis A vaccinated at the age of 1-3 years and again again after 6-18 months, at the site of the prick there is swelling and soreness, possibly a fever.
Comprehensive vaccination against rubella, measles, mumps vaccine called M-M-R II is done from 12 months and it is desirable to repeat it every 9-11 years. It causes an increase in temperature in only 2% of the vaccinated.
Hemophilus infection is instilled at the same age as ADS causes redness at the injection site and sometimes a slight increase in temperature.
We see that there are a lot of different vaccinations from completely different diseases. Practically each of them raises the body temperature and evokes some general reactions of the body, and an unpleasant journey to the hospital in general discourages any arrangement to vaccinations. But still, any vaccination is hundreds of times safer and more pleasant than the illness against which it is done. Be healthy!
