General pediatric consensus on bathing 2-month-olds after vaccination is: bathing on vaccination day is fine and can even help keep the injection site clean. However, make sure the bath water isn't too hot and clean the injection site (usually the thigh muscle) gently without rubbing. After bathing, dry your baby thoroughly and avoid chilling. If your baby has mild fever or fussiness after vaccination, a warm bath can be soothing; with fever above 38°C, I recommend consulting your pediatrician first.
