I called the Dr. and he said not to worry, 1 in 175 children have reactions and that it was normal. He said the reactions are mostly due to the DPT (Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis combo) vaccine and that separating them out would be a good idea next round. After much research I decided there would be no second round. I spoke with families that had lost their children after the same reactions or whose children had severe lifelong issues including but not limited to epilepsy, retardation and other neurologic illnesses. 1 in 300 of the DPT vaccinations result in seizures. If you are a gambler, I say go for it. I am not. There were vaccinations I did allow a few years later, but spaced out and not including the DPT. I don't regret my decision whatsoever and have to sign waivers for school. To each their own
