    If you are in the UK you should report the side effects using the MHRA yellow card system.  This is the only way manufacturers can gather data after the initial trials.  You can also report for your child.

      Make sure you keep the Yellow card report up to date as symptoms change, and include any GP / consultant letters that you get.
