Hi, just checking if it's normal for my baby to be very sleepy after the bcg vaccine, and when he does wake he is crying a lot. Can then be awake happy for like 30mins but then upset and sleeps again. He has no temperature I keep checking.
He had it this morning, only asking as the information they give you said baby usually doesn't become unwell after this vaccine.
Thanks

How old is baby?
Mine were 6 weeks when the had their BCG. If baby is this young, contact someone for medical reassurance.

He is 15 weeks. They forgot to offer it to us when he was younger

It's good that he's bigger.
You should know how he typically reacts to vaccinations. Calpol him, and see what happens. If no improvement, ring the clinic or the GP.
