Like any medical intervention, vaccines can have side effects. However, the majority of vaccine side effects are mild and temporary. Common side effects of adult and travel vaccines may include:
1. Soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site: This is a common side effect and usually resolves within a few days.
2. Low-grade fever: It’s not uncommon to experience a mild fever after receiving certain vaccines. This is a sign that the body is building immunity.
3. Fatigue or muscle aches: Some individuals may experience mild fatigue or muscle aches after vaccination. These symptoms typically resolve on their own.
Severe reactions to vaccines are rare. Serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, are extremely uncommon but can occur. It’s important to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about vaccine side effects with a healthcare professional.
If you experience a severe reaction, you should seek emergency medical attention.
