At about ten weeks, your baby should be immunised for a second time against:
- Polio (OPV)
- Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DPT)
- Hib
- Hepatitis B (Hep B)
Your baby may have a raised temperature or feel unwell after immunisation. Sponging with lukewarm water or giving a paracetamol syrup for fever may help. A red, swollen patch may appear around an injection site. This should subside within a few weeks.
