Major mood swings. I am very worried. does this injection have anything to do with the major change in her

Hi... usually pneumovax vaccination does not produce the symptoms you are quoting. I suggest you wait for another 24 hours and if still the kid is cranky you need to get him the consultation of a pediatrician. Cranky behaviour along with vomiting and headache and double vision along with high grade fever are signs of meningeal irritation. If these are there you need to take him to the nearest Emergency Room immediately.
