Expired Vaccine

2024-06-30 03:40:27
Hi, My 12 month old daughter has been given HEPATITIS A vaccine that expired in May 2024 itself. We noticed the date only after the injection. Will there be any side effects because of the expired Vaccine ? Can someone tell me how should we proceed further ? Thanks in advance.
