Infants' Tylenol
When Bella has received her shots, the nurses at her pediatrician’s office have routinely recommended giving her a dose of Tylenol once we return home to help with the pain or to prevent a fever. When she has had her shots, I have often given her some medicine. You can bet that I will be thinking twice about doing that again.
Seems like every month there is a new concern regarding vaccines and medicine, especially Tylenol lately. I am not trying to stir the whole vaccine pot, but if you are going to get your kids vaccinated, then you might want to learn about this new study released on Friday that was done in the Czech Republic. According to this study, acetaminophen (aka Tylenol) may weaken the effectiveness of vaccines when given together. The infants who were given acetaminophen, at 6 or 8 hour intervals, in the 24 hours following their vaccinations had fewer antibodies in their blood for the illnesses against which they were just vaccinated. So, unless your baby is running a high fever and your doctor recommends it, it doesn’t seem to be a good idea to take Tylenol after a vaccination.
