Immunisation - rash at the injection site

DD (4 months) had 3rd set of Imms last Wednesday and I've just noticed a rash around one of the injection sites, is this anything to worry about or something that others have noticed?

Quite common to have a local reaction and generally nothing to worry about. If it's a red area bigger than a 50p around the injection site or is a rash which encircles the limb it's worth remembering which injection site it was and mentioning it next time she goes for an immunisation (make a note of it in the red book on hte immunisation page, they should have documented which vaccination was given into which leg) so they can keep an eye on her next time she has that particular jab. I wouldn't be too concerned though and it should settle with a bit of piriton

Thank you so much, very good idea to make a note of it in redbook.
