Hi, thanks for writing to us.

The dose of vaxigrip vaccine above 3 yrs is a single dose of 0.5ml vaccine given intramuscularly.

There will be fever after any vaccination given. Control it with paracetamol and warm water sponges often.

The dose is all right, it is not a high dose. The fever should subside within 2 days.

Kindly review for further queries, hope I have cleared your doubts.

regards.
