A vaccine, albeit known to be a preventive measure against viruses and diseases, may have adverse effects on the human body such as allergic reactions. Symptoms may appear in a form of itching, swelling at the part of the body where the vaccine was injected, redness, or tenderness. Other symptoms may include fever, muscle pains, or malaise. These symptoms may happen 6 to 12 hours after administration of the vaccine and may persist until a couple of days. Other hypersensitive reactions may occur as well such as hives, asthma, or systemic anaphylaxis. These reactions may result from hypersensitivity from eggs. Thus, if a person is allergic to eggs, he or she must not be given vaccines that contain eggs.
This risk of causing serious harm is small. However, in case of any severe reaction such as fever, difficulty in breathing, increased heartbeat, dizziness, please see a doctor right away.
