My daughter (nearly 4 months old) had her 2nd jabs yesterday, one in each leg. One of the injection sites - her right leg, has turned into a small hard red lump the size of a 5p coin

is this normal? she is otherwise well

my 2 both ge these after jabs, sounds totally normal to me. Should go down gradually over next day or so. Don't worry!

IIRC anything smaller than a 10p piece is viewed as being normal. Best to give some paracetemol though if she has a temperature with it.
