How Long Do You Exclude After Vaccines?

Same here.

I exclude for 48 hours/two days afterwards.
I have had a child have a reaction.
Nothing serious in hindsight but nothing I ever want to experience again.

I liken their experience to adults that had bad reactions to COVID vaccines
They (child) don’t want to be here anymore than I want them here when they feel “off”.
Parents are required to get immunizations on Fridays or before their child is scheduled to be out for two or more days.

I also don’t allow a child to attend after a Dr visit.
Even a well child check without vaccines.
There isn’t a parent on this earth I trust to be 100% honest with me in regards to my liability/business.

I don't exclude for vaccines. If they spike a fever or are lethargic or screaming uncontrollably, those are things I always exclude for.

I don’t exclude for vaccines unless they have a fever or other reaction.

I know many exclude the remainder of the day of shots, others 24-48 hours afterwards.

I don't exclude for vaccines. IMPE, most "reactions" were on the legs from the bandage, not the shot. I remove latex bandages upon arrival, clean incision site with a little Boo-Boo wash and a diaper wipe, put a clear, waterproof, 3M dot bandage on and apply a little hydrocortisone cream to the area where the latex Band-Aid was applied. That has been all that was ever required of me. I do not understand why so many pediatricians still use latex bandages on young children.

I don't let them come to daycare after having vaccines that particular day....I do let them come back the next morning, though, if no temp or other symptoms happening!

What is your policy after babies/children get their vaccines? I had a DCM just drop off and asked me to watch DCG legs to make sure she doesn't have a reaction because she got 3 shots this morning. Ummm....not part of my job description! Too much liability!
