It is normal that the injection site be tender and a low-grade temp after vaccinations (not everyone has this but some do). See how he is a little bit later...right now I would not stress.

I don't entirely understand the question, but I think you did fine. If the fever has passed and he's no longer fussy, I wouldn't worry about it. If the fever comes back or he seems really irritable, I'd call the doc just to check in, but I bet they tell you that he's fine.

And I want to say "good job" for vaccinating. Fevers are a common side effect, but are way less damaging than the diseases you vaccinated for.

I follow the standard recommendations for calling. Under 3 months, over 100.4. 3-6 months, over 101.0.
Putting a call in to the dr. is nearly effortless, and completely worth the reassurance!

I agree with Jane and Lynn... you did exactly what you were supposed to do and the fever broke, so I wouldn't worry. My daughter got a fever with her shots too and I just gave her Tylenol and lots of snuggles and she was just fine. It's very common.
