So DH called from work and told me about the vaccine recall by Merck. DS had his 2 month shots 3 weeks ago, and DH wanted me to call the pedi to find out if DS's HiB vaccine was part of the recall (DH is a pharmacist at Children's, so he's a bit paranoid about this stuff, I think). I called, and sure enough, DS got one of the recalled vaccinations! Plus, I had already called this week to ask about the injection site -- there's still a tiny bump under his skin where the shot went in. The pedi's office said they'd call after they talk to the dr. about it, but he's not running a fever or showing any sign of infection (and it was 3 weeks ago, which seems like a long time!). But I still worry....
Just thought I'd tell you mommy's out there to call the pediatrician if your DC has had vaccinations recently!
