Fever in the baby after vaccination

introduction

The Robert Koch Institute’s permanent vaccination committee recommends a total of six vaccinations for each baby’s first year.

The vaccinations consist of a six-fold vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, the causative agent of meningitis and hepatitis B and the vaccines against peumococci and rotaviruses.

In this way, immunity to pathogens is achieved, which could particularly harm the child in its first months of life. The frequency of vaccinations decreases with age. The general rule is that the vaccines are very well tolerated and do not cause long-term damage.
