Possible Side Effects from Vaccines

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

First, vaccines are safe for both children and adults, providing protection against the more severe forms of various diseases. While there can be some adverse effects from vaccines such as a low-grade fever or pain at the injection site, these side effects are very rare. They may occur if the patient develops an allergy to a specific component of the vaccine, rather than to the vaccine itself.

Thanks
