DD just got hers.  I know one of the s /e is sleepiness.  DD is definitely groggy and tired.  Its kinda making me nervous.  Was your DC groggy/sleepy afterward?  For how long?

Yes, although he's usually always sleepy still (except for 11PM - 4AM!) pedi said tylenol might make him more sleepy.  He pretty much slept through the entire day.

We had ours in the evening for this reason. She was very tired afterwards and irritable. I gave her some tylenol before bedtime and she slept through the night.  She was back to her "normal" self the very next morning.

Henry just got his 2 month vaccines last week - he took like a 5 hour nap afterward, got up and ate, then slept for another 5 hours.  I think the crying wore him out a bit + the tylenol I gave him made him sleepy + the immunizations themselves kinda make them feel a bit crummy...

I know the last time I got a bunch of immunizations I felt like crapola about 2 hours after I got them and it lasted a few days (I got a flu vaccine, the last of my gardacil series, hep A, a tetanus booster, and menactra before traveling overseas a few years ago).  After that experience I totally feel bad for my kids every time they get several vaccines at once... I don't think it hurts them but I do think it's a lot for the immune system to handle at once and makes ya feel crummy.  Doesn't suprise me one bit the little ones need to sleep it off a bit.
