Question: Are These Shots Safe?
Answer: Shots are very safe, but they are not perfect. Like any other medicine they can
occasionally cause reactions. Usually these are mild, like a sore arm or a slight fever.
Serious reactions are rare, but they can happen. Your doctor or nurse can discuss the
risks with you before your child gets her shots. The important thing to remember is
that getting the diseases is much more dangerous than getting the shots.
