Brief Answer:
Can be due to vaccine or a viral infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The chills and nausea with joint pain that you have can be related to the vaccine that you had or due to a mild viral infection. This is likely to improve with supportive treatment like rest, mild pain killers or acetaminophen. You can have a light and easy to digest diet with mild anti emetic like domperidone available over the counter. Do consult your physician in case the symptoms are persistent or severe.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
