Childhood: Order of Vaccinations Helps With Pain
The pain infants feel when they receive vaccinations may depend on the order in which the shots are administered.
In a clinical trial with 120 infants and observers including parents and independent observers, infants who received their DPTaP-Hib (for diphtheria, polio, pertussis, tetanus and Haemophilus influenzae Type B) before their PCV (for pneumococcal disease) were judged to experience less pain.
