Normal Reactions: Variants

Variations of normal reactions that are NOT considered adverse events can include:

•

Local satellite lesions (1) (that are normal in appearance)

•

Lymphangitis

•

Local edema

•

Cellulitis (2) (intense inflammation surrounding the papule)

(1) The frequency of satellite lesions varies from study to study and ranges from 2.4 to 6.6 %.
(2) This normal consequence of vaccination is often confused with bacterial infection.

Management
None of these expected variations of normal reactions require any treatment other than symptomatic relief.
