I'm just wondering if I need to contact the GP? Dd had her preschool vaccines on Tuesday and one of the sites is like this today and is a bit swollen.

I've given her calpol and nurofen and she's gone off to nursery.

It might be worth a call to the GP to be sure but TBH my flu and any vaccination jabs always do this to me too. The nurse said it was just my immune system causing it which was a positive thing. No idea if that's true but usually it'll go down within the week with no other issues. Just a hot, hard, lump in the meantime.

Thanks for your reply. She didn't have this with her baby jabs but they were in her leg. Worst thing is that I have to get the vaccines done without her dad knowing because he's a rabid anti-vaxxer. So I'm hoping it will have gone by the time he sees her next.
