: Your symptoms may be related to other causes such as an allergic reaction to pollen or to dust. Monitor your temperature, rest, drink fluids and consult with your PCP. A vaccine reaction may be possible but is usually more common with this vaccine within the first 72 hours. Watch for cough and fever.
