“…The beneficial effect of prophylactic paracetamol on the incidence of fever and common adverse reactions following pediatric immunization has already been demonstrated in clinical trials performed in the 1980s. 4,5 Results from a recent trial in the US also found a significantly lower frequency of temperature ≥38 °C among infants aged between 24 wk and 10 mo given prophylactic paracetamol (13% in the prophylactic paracetamol group vs. 25% in the control group) following routinely recommended vaccinations. 6 In addition, a trial of paracetamol prophylaxis in infants receiving 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Hemophilus influenzae protein D-conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV) co-administered with a combination DTaP-HBV-IPV-Hib vaccine and oral human rotavirus vaccine reported that rectal temperature ≥38 °C within 4 d post-vaccination was significantly less frequent in the group with paracetamol prophylaxis (42%) than the no paracetamol group (66%).…”
