Answer 8

well, a vaccine is when they get you sick with an extremely minor case of that virus, sickness, etc., so im guessing that its just a little side effect from the shot. try using vicks or a humidifier.

Answer 9

yea, they are injecting a little bit of meningitis or whatever shot you got, into you, so your body can fight it off, and sometimes people get a cold, which is probably why you have a stuffy nose

Answer 10

In order for the shot to work, they put a little bit of the sickness in your body so you can fight it off. That's what's happening to you. Your stuffy nose is from the shot and should go away shortly once your body fights it off.
