Question

What’s happening if a child experiences dizziness and drowsiness after receiving the leprosy vaccine?

Answer

Dizziness and drowsiness after receiving the leprosy vaccine may be a mild allergic reaction. Generally, children might feel slightly uncomfortable, such as mild allergic reactions, low fever, rash, regional swelling, and pain. These symptoms are usually normal reactions to vaccination and can be relieved through rest and improved nutrition. If symptoms persist or other abnormal symptoms appear, medical attention should be sought promptly.
