Is there a recommended period of time a person should wait in the clinic following an immunization?
The rationale for a “waiting period” after vaccination is, presumably, that if an allergic reaction to the vaccine were to occur, the person would still be in the facility. With appropriate screening, the likelihood of a serious allergic reaction is extremely low. Potentially life-threatening allergic reactions occur in a matter of minutes. A ten to fifteen minute waiting periord is recommended after an immunization.
