child vaccinations and paracetamol

Hello, can someone please put mind at rest re vaccinations?

My daughter is 3.5 and is all up to date with her vaccinations.

However I have just read randomly online that giving paracetamol routinely after jabs can reduce the effectiveness of the vaccines.

My daughter always had 2/3 doses of calpol after her vaccinations. I recall it being the standard advice for 8/16 week ones and I think in my sleep deprived state I just did it automatically for all the jabs so also the 1 year and preschool boosters.

Do I need to do anything? Do I need to contact my GP? Will She have to do them all again? How do I know if the vaccines have worked? I’m worried now I’ve gone through all that with her for nothing!

Can someone help put my mind at rest?
Thank you.

Never come across that. However dd had her vaccinations but was recently discovered to not be rubella immune at 18.

Any scientists around maybe? The study was in the lancet but what I can’t seem to find out is if the lower immunity levels with the paracetamol use didn’t actually matter because the levels means the vaccines still effective.
