My Baby Has a Fever on Vaccine Day – What Should I Do?

Is Fever After Vaccination Normal?

Yes—mild fever after vaccination is a sign that your baby’s immune system is responding to the vaccine. It’s not only expected, it’s a good thing. Fever means the body is building protection against serious infections like diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and pneumonia.

Most babies experience low-grade fever (99–101°F) within 24 hours of receiving shots, especially after hexavalent vaccines, PCV, or rotavirus vaccines.

What You Can Do at Home

Here’s how to comfort your baby and manage post-vaccine fever safely:

🍼 Keep your baby well-hydrated with breastmilk or formula

🌡️ Monitor temperature regularly using a digital thermometer

👕 Dress your baby in light, breathable clothes

🛏️ Allow extra rest and avoid overstimulation

💧 Use a lukewarm sponge bath if fever crosses 101°F

💊 Administer infant paracetamol only if prescribed by your pediatrician

If you’ve opted for a painless vaccine, fever may be milder or absent—but even painless options like Infanrix Hexa or HexaSim can trigger a mild immune response.

When to Call Your Pediatrician

While mild fever is normal, watch for these red flags:
