Flu shot

katerpies

My 6 mo old just got his first flu shot today. Just wondering if I should expect any reactions.

He got the rest of his 6 mo vaccines last friday and has had alittle bit of a cough and sneezes a little more than normal. Didnt know if it could be from the shots or we have had a terrible spring so far for allergies so Im not sure if he is going to be an allergy sufferer. The drainage from his nose is clear and his cough is dry not productive or anything. 

Just curious if reactions are normal for these shots or if I should keep an eye on things.

DS received the flu vaccine along with his other 6 mo vaccinations. He had a fever around 101.3 late in the evening but it dropped after giving him some Tylenol. He was fine from then on. Here is a link that list possible side effects from each vaccine.

We had no side effects or reactions to any of the 6 month shots.  The things you're describing sound a lot like allergies to me.

My DS got the flu shot with his other 6 month shots.  He didn't seem to have any reactions besides soreness.
