Serious side effects are rare. The most common side effects of this vaccine include pain, redness, swelling and itching where the needle was given. Other common side effects can include headache, fever, nausea and dizziness. This is not a complete list of side effects. You should always discuss the risks and benefits of any vaccine with your health care professional. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be taken to reduce discomfort or fever. Always follow package directions. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA or Aspirin®) must not be given to children under 18 years of age. If symptoms worsen or continue please seek medical attention and notify the health unit.
