First: Call your doctor. Severe reactions with vaccination are very rare and even less so with the newer vaccines. ( 1 in 1 million doses) but they do happen. But a thorough medical evaluation is required. It can be difficult to sort out a true vaccination reaction from another coincidental illness. Go to the Dr.
