Oil Massage After Vaccination
Actually I accidentally did an oil massage of the vaccination site of my baby after 24 hours post vaccination. I am worried that this will reduce the vaccine's effectiveness as the general guideline is to wait for 48 hours before doing the oil Massage.

Greetings
It is unlikely that an oil massage after 24 hours will reduce the vaccine's effectiveness, although general guidelines often suggest waiting 48 hours. The main concern with immediate massage is potential irritation or increased swelling at the injection site, not typically the vaccine's efficacy itself.
