• If your child is severely ill, it is best to wait before vaccination. 
• It is important to keep your child hydrated post-vaccination. Make sure to give them plenty of water. 
• In case of fever, consult your doctor before treating with any OTC medication.
• Make your child’s personal hygiene a top priority. Keeping their hands clean and washing them with soap and water regularly is important in preventing infection. Opt for traditional hand washing over sanitisers.
• Avoid unclean water. Make sure the water is clean.
