All are minor reactions of DPT vaccine except–

Correct option is C

Sol. Rashes are not a typical minor reaction of the DPT (Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus) vaccine. Common minor reactions include mild fever, local pain/swelling, and excessive crying (especially due to pertussis component). Serious allergic reactions like anaphylaxis are very rare. Skin rashes are more commonly seen with vaccines like MMR, not DPT.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Mild Fever – True. It usually occurs within 24–48 hours after DPT vaccination and resolves without treatment.
· (b) Pain at the injection site – True. Localized pain and swelling are common after DPT injection due to immune response.
· (c) Rashes – Correct (not a DPT reaction). Skin rashes are not typical for DPT. They may occur with measles/MMR vaccines.
· (d) Excessive crying – True. Seen in infants due to pain and discomfort; may last for hours after DPT, especially due to the pertussis component.
