Question
What’s happening if my baby’s vaccination wound becomes purulent after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine just one month after birth?
Answer
If your child has received the BCG vaccine, a purulent reaction after the injection is normal. If the reaction occurs after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine, it may be an infectious inflammation. It is recommended to contact the doctor who administered the vaccine to determine which type of vaccine was administered and to have the doctor examine your child’s condition. If it is an abnormal reaction caused by the vaccine, anti-infection treatment may be required.
