DS is having his 4yo immunization at 9am on a usual daycare day.

Would you send him to daycare afterwards or keep him home?

I would do them on a day that he could stay home.

My war paint is Sharpie ink
If it helps you decide, DD had a very sore arm for the rest of the day so it helped that she didn't have to go anywhere or do anything.

My 4 year old gets very anxious over needles... over anything medical really. If it were me and he had daycare that day I would let him stay home.

my 2 fainted with theirs. we had a quiet day after having thm in the morning. both had been fine with the previous needles, I think it was the fact that they were more aware with what was happening

Both my DSs were completely unfazed by the needles and would have been more upset about missing out on pre-school so in our case I'd let them go, if they felt OK.

My DD was absolutely hysterical afterwards and I had to cancel my evening soccer game to stay home with her. Depends on your child but I would do it after daycare.
