Abstract
with infants without symptoms in the period of 1-14 days post vaccination. CRP among symptomatic children was similar in the period of 1-7 days post vaccination (p=0.81) and marginally higher than asymptomatic infants 8-14 days post vaccination (adjusted mean difference 1.72 mg/L; 95% CI 1.10 to 2.69, p=0.018). Among 2.7% (9/339) infants with CRP of >50 mg/L, none required hospitalisation. Limitations include small samples (particularly 0-14 days prevaccination), selection bias and the range of vaccines.
