Side Effects

All vaccines have some possible side effects, fever, chills, rash, aches and pains, nausea, headache, dizziness and fatigue. Injections can cause pain, soreness, redness, and swelling on the part of the body where you got the shot. The side effects usually do not last long and participants usually do not need any form of treatment. However, if necessary, staff will advise you on treatment.
