Side effects

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The symptoms you have appear to be due to the vaccination side effects. Such side effects are very rare. Need not worry, they are not serious.

Take Tab Tylenol twice daily for a day after food. This will help to get rid of the problem.

Wish you good health.
