Can A Pneumonia Shot Cause Headache?
I have had a headache in the back of my lower head for about a week now. Doesn t keep me awake while sleeping, but it is continuous during the day. It s like a dull ache. If I massage it, it feels better. Aspirin/Tylenol doesn t seem to help at all. I received a pneumonia shot last Wednesday, and it started after receiving that. Any connection?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, pneumonia shot (vaccine) can not cause headache. So your headache is not due to pneumococcal shot.
In my opinion, you should get done blood pressure monitoring to rule out hypertension as hypertension can cause similar kind of headache.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
