Common reactions to the DTaP vaccine include irritability, redness, tenderness, and swelling at the injection site, and a mild loss of appetite. These symptoms usually occur within the first 1 to 2 days after vaccination. A temperature of 38.9 degrees C (102 degrees F) or greater is less common and may indicate a more serious reaction that warrants medical attention.
