Most of the immunizations cause very few side effects. I recommend giving Tylenol after the immunizations if your baby seems fussier than usual following the shots. You should expect to see very little fever from any of the immunizations, but occasionally your child may experience some low grade fever following the DTaP or Hepatitis B vaccine. The MMR may cause symptoms 1-2 weeks after the injection. These symptoms consist of slight irritability for 1-2 days, fever in the range of 101-102, a slight rash, slightly red eyes, decreased activity or a slight cough. Some babies develop a lump, area of redness or soreness at the spot where any of the injections are given. You may want to apply a warm, wet compress several times a day to the areas of the injections for a day or so following the injections. You should call your pediatrician if: Your baby has EXTREME irritability Your baby is fretful or irritable for more than 48 hours The fever persists for more than 48 hours Your baby’s fever is higher than 103 I hope your little one feels better soon, LIZ > href="http://www.easybabylife.com/elizabeth-muns.html">Liz</a>

My 4 month old son also has small red dots on his legs after receiving vaccinations. From what I have read, it's from the MMR vaccine. Your child can also have these red dots on their legs after they have received the varicella (chicken pox) vaccine.
