Can Injecting Prevnar Vaccine Cause Red Swelling With Hardness?
My 2yr and 7 month old baby brother was injected with one of the vaccination called prevenar I. after a few hours he developed a red spot with swelling and the spot was quite hard as compared to the rest of the skin. also, I must add that the vaccin was given by a male nurse and not the doctor himself. is it something serious?
