Abstract :Childhood vaccinations are the most cost-effective method to combat preventable diseases. Allergic reactions to vaccines are generally rare. However, all vaccines can potentially cause allergic reactions. These allergic reactions can develop against any of the components of the vaccine (adjuvant, microbial agent, stabilizer, residue antibiotic, cell culture, etc.). It is very important to correctly diagnose allergic reactions to vaccines because only 15% of suspected allergic reactions to vaccines are real allergic reactions and the continuation of immunization procedures is essential for public health. Allergic reactions to vaccines should be evaluated by an allergist-immunologist expert and a risk analysis should be performed. Vaccination of these children in a reliable way and guaranteed immunization procedure will also contribute to the protection of both children and public health. This study compiles the diagnosis of immediate and delayed reactions to vaccines or vaccine components and their management with current guidelines.
