I do not have any experience with the Purevax vaccination, but
with Fervac and Galaxy, usually once there is a reaction, it
is worse with each shot received.
Was he pre-treated with anything before the shot was given?
If not, I would have the vet pre-treat him before his next
distemper vaccination, and then stay at the vet's office and
watch him closely afterward.
