Question 1

what are the symptoms of a severe vaccine reaction?

Accepted Answer

Depends on vaccine: For each vaccine, the cdc has an information sheet. You can log on to: http://www.Cdc.Gov/vaccines/pubs/vis/default.Htm#rota and look for the vaccine you're interested in.
Then call your pediatrician about your specific problem.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: severe vaccine reaction?

Accepted Answer

Anaphylaxis: Examples of sever reactions to vaccinations could include symptoms like difficulty breathing, blood in the urine or stool, seizures, etc.  Pain and swelling at the site of injection alone would not be considered a vaccine reaction.

Question 3

what is the treatment for severe vaccine reaction?

Accepted Answer

Symptomatic: The treatment depends on the symptoms of the reaction. Each vaccine has its own set of possible reactions. If you think you or your child has a reaction to a vaccine that was just given, you should go back to the doctor who gave it for evaluation and treatment. Often, there is something else that causes the symptoms, and it may not have anything to do with the vaccine.

Question 4

reaction to rotavirus vaccine signs in a 3month old?

Accepted Answer

Fever & stomach ills: Fever, vomiting and diarrhea are the most common side effects to the vaccine.

Question 5

how many days after the pneumovax vaccine are you safe from a severe allergic reaction?

Accepted Answer

Hours not days: Any severe allergic reaction would happen within minutes to hours after an injection. More minor reactions like soreness or swelling at the site or a rash would happen within 2-3 days.

Question 6

any warning signs for allergic reaction to chickenpox vaccine?

Accepted Answer

See below:: Becoming infected with chickenpox is much more dangerous to your health than receiving the vaccine to protect you. Like any medicine, the vaccine can cause side effects, but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low. Signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Call your doctor to discuss this more if needed.

Question 7

hi doctors..i'm very nervous..two of my friends have had mild to moderate but very concerning reactions to the covid vaccine..chills, severe lassitude, don't want to move..if  i get a reaction.. this or something else,..(worse) what would you suggest?

Accepted Answer

: Sounds like fairly typical reactions to the Covid-19 vaccine. They generally resolve within 24 to 48 hours. The reactions are actually a sign that the vaccine is mounting the appropriate antibody response which will help to protect you. Certainly if you have a reaction that is lasting, you should contact your doctor. The reaction is more common after the 2nd dose, but many people have no reaction.

Question 8

my husband, 63, received his 2nd moderna vaccine on saturday, 5 days ago. he suffered a very bad reaction to it, the following day had 103.5 fever, better now but has covid arm, why did this happen so severe? would he have gotten a bad case of virus?

Accepted Answer

: His body is reacting to the vaccine.  His immune system is very active. The relationship of such a reaction to vaccine and COVID disease severity has not been researched that I am aware.

Question 9

dr told me not to get covid vaccine because i have severe asthma and allergies. i have allergies to environmental things. i've never had a reaction to any other vaccine i've gotten including flu. i'm 27f 5'5" 240lbs. should i consult another dr?

Accepted Answer

: It would make sense to get a second opinion. From what you say, you definitely should be vaccinated against COVID.

Question 10
