Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccine?

Question

I recently got a vaccine for Meningitis, A day later, I have mild pressure in my forehead, and I feel generally sick. I don't have a stiff neck so I don't think I have Meningitis. Is this kind of reaction normal, how long does it last?

Answer 1

It's common to have fever and a mild sick feeling after a vaccine shot, which usually lasts only for a day after the vaccination.

If your headache is persistent on the 2nd day, see your MD because meningococcal vaccine has rarely been known to cause neurological problems in people who have had any previous neurological illnesses  such as Guillain-Barre syndrome or seizures.

Answer 2

It could be due to the vaccine. In most cases the vaccine contains a 'dead' string of the virus and it is possible to contract it, just relax and I'm sure you'll feel better - if symptoms get worse or persist for a few days I would visit the doctor.

Also, if you are allergic to anything in the vaccine - including latex  - that could be a problem and cause a reaction.

Answer 3

It Is Coming From The Shot In Each Shot There Is A Dead Form Of The Disease And Your Body Is Just Using Its Immune System To Attack and Kill The Virus You Will Feel Better By Tomorrow

Answer 4

it's probably nothing related to the shot, i wouldn't worry about it, take an advil or something
