Question: Hi
I was wondering about side effects for my daughter's vaccinations. She has a sore stomach which my wife is convinced happened after she received her vaccinations, but I have doubts about this. She hasd them 3 weeks ago. We live in Azerbaijan. She has a doctor recommended by my wife's aunt, though we went to a larger better equipped facility for these vaccinations. My personal opinion is that the doctor is unhappy about this and wants to keep control about what happens to her patient. Had she spoken to me the way she spoke to my wife back in the UK, I would have dealt with it but I am a little out of my element in a foreign country. The vaccines she had were against diptheria, tetanus, rotavirus, hep B and pertussis. The week before she did received polio drops from her family doctor, who now says we shouldn't have gone for the rest. I am struggling to understand as these 5 in 1's are done over the world and often contain vaccines against polio. What are the likely implications of side effects after and for how long and what exent? Personally I think my daughter has some excess gas, and just suffers from a slightly sore stomach. She spits out her milk a bit but I saw this as quite normal and she is putting on weight. My wife puts a lot of faith in her doctor as it was her auntie's one and she has severe mistrust of others even though I feel more comfortable in the better equipped hospital and try to convince her that these doctors cannot afford to give vaccinations and get it wrong if our daughter is really unwell. Í would appreciate any advice on the likelihood of this being any side effect from vaccinations.
Thanks and Best Regards,

Hi Dr XXXXXXX

Thank you very much for your reply. Your answer makes sense to me.

One vaccine I missed off the list was Haemopihilus Influenzea type B. Is this similar to above?

On a side note, though this was administered at an earlier time from the doctor who advised against other vaccinations, what are the side effects of the oral polio vaccine? I understand this is not used at home anymore, but it is adminstered here.

The doctor has stated that my daughter has suffered from a lack of oxygen. Whilst I accept she did at one point have a very slight tinge of blue on her lips, it didn't seem to prevent her from living normally and she's had all appearances of a healthy child. She was given a vaccination at birth from the hospital and has since been given others without concern about this. For my clarity of mind, however, if a child has what must be a minor problem in lacking oxygen, how would that impact the danger in receiving these vaccinations?

Thanks and Best Regards,
XXXX
