I got the varicella vaccine in the afternoon and a very high fever that night. are these related?

Unlikely.: Varicella vaccine can cause fever, but usually not high. You should speak to your doctor who might want to see you to rule out an infection from another cause, if it continues. Meanwhile they might recommend ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
