Please calm me down...

Allison got her 12 month shots yesterday (two, Hep A - first time and Pneumococcal - fourth time).  She has NEVER had more than a low fever (99-100) as a reaction.

Last night she hardly slept.  Poor girl woke up a lot crying, but went back to sleep.  This morning she was sitll running a fever (100) and was so lethargic.  Normally I can't get her to sit still in the mornings but today she just clung to me acting very sleepy but not sleeping. 

Daycare called and she isn't any better...and not eating.  I called and left a message for the doctor but haven't heard back yet.  I'm trying to refrain from consulting Dr. Google but I'm freaking out a little here...

Anyone else have reactions like this to shots?

    DS had a bad reaction to his 6 month shots so I am dreading the 12 month ones on Friday (at 9 months he just had a flu shot and did fine with that).  He was out of sorts for a couple of days, got big red welts on his legs where they gave him the shots, and threw up a couple of times.  I took him back to the pedi and they said that it is considered an adverse reaction to the shots but not a big deal, and that he probably just had a strong immune response.

    It is killing me to be at work when she just needs comfort...I may be leaving early because of this.  My poor girl needs her mommy!

    Ian acted "different" after shots at 6mo.  He was really grumpy that afternoon, and the next day acted as you've described...low grade fever, clingy, didn't want to eat, and slept a lot.  I'd say it's probably just the shots and if she's not back to normal by tomorrow contact the dr.

    I didn't get to go to Eli's 1 year appointment but DH got told by our ped that even though shots in the past didn't affect him, they still could now. I guess sometimes there is a delayed reaction and as they get older, they get affected by shots.
