Why Is There Symptoms Of The Disease After Getting Vaccination?
My friend got the menigitis vaccination, a few weeks later he had symptoms of menigitis. We went to the ER and all the tests for menigitis came back negative. We went to a herbalist who said he got sick from the vaccination, now it being about two weeks later, I m having symptoms of it but never had the vaccination. Could he of possibly been contagious and gaven it to me during that time period?

Hello,Welcome to HCM,
Brief... Need to know the detail of symptoms..
Detail...Since some vaccination can cause some symptoms,like bodyache,fever,flu,pain and sour on vaccination site,headache and loose stools.From your history it can not be known that what kind of symptoms you and your friend have got,as meningitis symptoms are (stiffness of nech,headache,fever,even seizures and paralysis).
It is less likely that you are affected by your friend's vacination.But co incidately it may be possible that you both might have got some viral infection ,which may need only symptometically treatment.As viral infection could be contagious from person to person with same symptoms.
You may discuss further here with out any hesitation,if you have any other quiry.
Regards,Dr.Maheshwari
