kids flu vax

[MoOaNdLiTtLePoPpEt]

ds had his first does of the flu vax yesterday arvo...

last night he was evry restless and sniffly (i think his nose was annoying him)...he has a runny nose and is very sniffly - he sounds as though he is getting a cold/flu. Is this just a side effect of the flu vax?

thanks

He will probably get a very mild form of the flu, which is nothing compared to the full force of a flu.

It is a common side effect and it shouldn't take more than a few days.

Always watch him though, as you normally would.

Hope he feels better soon.

Thanks, i thut so but just wanted to make sure.
will keep an eye on him for sure, as i usually would :)

i am just worried this will bring on the hyperactive airways which was NOT nice and scarey!...as that is what happened last year. Fingers Crossed it doesn't.
