The fever may be from the vaccine but not the cough. She also needs her 2nd dose which is given 3 weeks after the first. She should contact her doctor to be examined to figure out what the cough is from. If she was exposed to COVID prior to being vaccinated she may also need to be tested for COVID as the vaccine would then not prevent an infection (but may lessen symptoms).
