Variations of normal reactions that are not considered adverse events can include:
| • |
Local satellite lesions(*)
(that are normal in appearance) |
| • |
Lymphangitis |
| • |
Local edema |
| • |
Robust take (†)
(intense inflammation surrounding the papule) |
| * |
The frequency of satellite lesions
varies from study to study (2.4 to 6.6 %). |

This normal consequence of vaccination is a viral cellulitis at the vaccination site of varying degree that peaks at about 7-10 days following vaccination. A robust take or larger amount of inflammation surrounding the site, is often confused with
bacterial infection. |
Management
None of these expected variations of normal reactions require any treatment other than symptomatic relief.
