Do reactions increase with each vaccination given?

[Lollicup]

Just wondering? My LO is getting her 3rd HIB tomorrow, to complete the series. She is now 16 months. She did well with the first two and was wondering if this is a good sign to the final 3rd shot of this series. Do reactions get better as vaccinations are given, or typically are reactions more common on the first dose.

I know that for DTaP the later doses are more reactive. For others, I don't think there are such statistics. HiB in general is considered one of the least reactive vaccines, so if your DD didn't react the first times, she will probably be ok.
Good luck

It happens that the DTaP is the one that my son reacted to more after each one. The last one he got, his leg was so painful for him he didn't walk on it for days. I felt horrible for having done that to him.
We were selective (HIB, IPV and DTaP) and delayed with shots, but stopped altogether.

DD#1 only had a reaction to the first one, and then nothing after that.

DD#2 never had any reactions at all.

I think it depends on the child.

As a rule they get worse.
