Keep an eye on her temperature. The best place to take it is rectal which should be normal as long as its in the range of 98.6-100.6. If youre doing it orally (which can be tough on young ones) it should read between 97.6 - 99.6.
Giving her some tylenol and cool baths should help take her temperature down. Most hospitals will just send you home unless her fever is extremely high (around 102 +). If youre having troubles finding infants/childrens tylenol, try childrens motrin. works just as well.
And remember, a high temperature/fever to immunizations is normal.

Well, it likely was your fault,but I have to admit that I would probably do the same thing if I saw a puppy running loose. I have,actually,and I have caught large dogs as well,but they have come to me when called or coaxed and I did not scruff them,but put a leash on them instead. As for everyone saying that this pup is abnormal, perhaps it is just going through a fear stage. I had a huge mixed breed who was afraid of everything when she was that age,and I've also had a VICIOUS 3 week old pup: <<<

You should still be able to get the infant tylenol. I don't think it has been recalled. I hope not!! I just used some today. I think it's only the tylenol COLD medicines that have been recalled. If you can't get infant tylenol, use infant motrin. Just call your Dr to confirm the proper dosage for your baby's weight.
I was worried so I looked up the tylenol recall. The list of tylenol products that have been recalled are below. You should be safe with the infant tylenol if your Dr recommended.

The regular tylenol without any cold medication should be on the shelf, and that is the kind you should give her. The fever is almost positively from the shots and should pass in the next day or so. You don't need to take her in unless it goes up to like 103 degrees. My son always gets a fever when he gets shots. He likes a cool-ish rag to put on his head (he is 17 months) and like to have cool treats (juice with ice in it). Just try to keep her cool and comfortable.

Regular tylenol is still on the shelf. Its the one with cold medication added to it that is recalled.
100.2 is not a fever in a 12 month old. She's warm, but its not even remotely dangerous, and its totally and completely normal after getting shots, ESPECIALLY after the MMR, which she gets at 12 months.
Give her tylenol until the fever is gone. You can alternate with baby motrin, thats even better. She doesnt need to see the doctor unless her fever is over 104 she's lethargic, or not eating.

As far as I know, regular tylenol hasn't been taken off the shelves. The ones that have been recalled are the cold meds...so check with your pediatrician before heading out to walmart or whatever.

My daughter just had her 12 month shots too and her fever got up to 102.1° and I gave her tylenol and it went down until the tylenol wore off, then it would shoot up again. I did this for about 2 days and it stopped. No worries. And call your a drug store near you and explain to them the situation. They'll take some tylenol out for you from the back and sell it to ya! Call them! The pain reliever/fever reducers WORK GREAT! for shots!

that is totally normal and it could last for a few days to. i would give her regular motrin. it works a lot better for fevers than tylenol. and everyone i have recommended it to agreed.

If you can't find any Tylenol/Acetaminophen, go with Motrin/Ibuprofen. It will help with the fever, too.
My nine-month-old son usually gets a low-grade fever and is fussy for a day or so after he gets shots, too.

The only meds taken off the shelves were cold meds. You can find regular pediatric tylenol/acetaminophen in stores.
