AVIS (Acetaminophen before Vaccines for Infants Study)

The purpose of this study is to find out whether giving acetaminophen (the medicine in Tylenol ^®) before babies receive their 2, 4 and 6 month vaccinations is helpful in preventing fever or other vaccine-related symptoms. We will also try to learn whether use of acetaminophen reduces the infant’s use of medical services, parents’ time lost from work, and sleep lost by parents and infants within a day of vaccination.
