Hello, Thanks for posting your query on Healthcare Magic...
* Brief Answer: vaccine may cause some side effects within 24to 48 hours after injection , nothing to worry about.
*Explanation: My opinion is that after being vaccinated , some persons develop some kind of manifestations that resembles common cold , such as generalized muscle aches, fatigue low grade fever and some local irritation or redness at the site of the injection . simple measures as good hydration , some local cold fomentations at the site of injection and simple analgesics a as paracetamol are good to overcome this.
I suggest my patients the following these type of vaccines are very safe as they are small pieces of protein and that is the safest type of vaccination.
The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about other comorbidities such as diabetes . also if the patient is immunocompetent or not.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help, If not, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
