Allergic reaction?: He needs to be seen immediately by a doctor or clinic, especially if the symptoms -- particularly the breathing problem -- began within an hour of vaccination. Allergic reactions to HBV vaccine are rare but can happen.

Unfortunately yes: The most concerning of these is the difficulty breathing so I hope you have already followed the advice of my colleagues to seek urgent care. Like all vaccines there is a potential for serious side effects. Based upon this I recommend your husband not get any further Hep B vaccines.
