A member asked:
Can the tetanus vaccine cause high fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: It is rare for anyone to have a severe reaction to vaccines. There will often be soreness or slight fever. Acetaminophen usually reduces the symptoms. If symptoms are severe, or last longer that 1-2 days, check with your doctor.
