All primary vaccines except BCG and oral polio till 9 months of age are given in the thigh which is a safe place. So your nurse has done right. Nothing to worry.

Do not give any medication, try to maintain enough body water i.e. Enough breast milk and ors if excessive water loss. If baby is lethargic, passing less urine, refuses breast milk etc then kindly consult local pediatrician. This is a transient phenomenon/side effects.

Hi lybrate-user! Recently many people are coming up with doubts about painless vaccination. I would like to tell you that apart from oral polio drops and rotaviral vaccine, every vaccine is an injection which involves prick with needle. Of course it is going to give some pain to your child for that moment. Nowadays combination vaccines come with 4 to 5 components so that your child will be pricked only once or twice and not 4 to 5 times. Hope this helped you.

Polio vaccine is a must. We are going to be free from this crippling disease due to vaccine. In few years we will not be required to give oral polio vaccine.
