Are there any side effects?

Any immunization can cause side effects. Most children don’t have any side effects from the shot. Side effects that do occur are usually very mild, and may include:

- Fever
- Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
- Temporary pain and stiffness in the joints (mostly in teens and adults)
- Mild rash

 

Typically, these can be managed with over-the-counter medications. More serious side effects are rare. Talk to your doctor if you are concerned or experience anything out of the ordinary.
