Mild post-vaccination reactions to the vaccine are normal
The introduction of inactivated bacterial or viral vaccines into the human body leads to the development of an immune response, often accompanied by stereotypical clinical manifestations.
Of the general short-term reactions, which usually take place within 2-3 days, can be:
* short-term flu-like syndrome, which can be characterized by chills, fever;
* general malaise and weakness;
* headache;
* myalgia (muscle pain);
* arthralgia (joint pain).
There may also be local reactions such as:
* soreness at the injection site;
* hyperemia (excessive blood supply to the vessels of a particular area of the body, redness);
* puffiness.
But the occurrence of seizures or an increase in temperature above 40 degrees should alert and become an immediate reason to consult a doctor.
In 0.4% of the total number of vaccinated patients, the expected reactions are registered, such as redness, soreness at the injection site, fever, short-term increase in blood pressure, etc., which pass within a few hours to several days.
The most vulnerable groups for postvaccinal reactions are patients with chronic diseases.
