    the symptoms usually last 1 day.. any vaccine is said to cause the common symptoms of mild fever, rash, muscle ache all over the body and pain at site of injection upto 10 days but realistically 1 to 2 days.. people usually have chills when having a mild fever, basically your brain is telling your body that it is cold and it should conserve and generate more heat.. so you may have chills and feeling cold with mild fever, and you may shiver and have rigors if it is more than a mild fever..

    if the symptoms are mild but disturbing your day to day activity, then take Paracetamol (Tylenol or Panadol); i would prefer not to take medications other than watching Netflix in a warm blanket.. but if the symptoms get worse, then seek proper medical help at a local clinic.. or the emergency room at a hospital if they are extremely bad.. and.. and all the best

    Everybody's different. My sister only felt bad for 2 days, but I had body aches, chills & fatigue for 6 days. The only we can tell you is that it will go away.  Just tough it out.

    This is a very common reaction.  It is considered a normal and possible side effect of the vaccine.

    It typically lasts for about 24 to 48 hours.  If you are not feeling better within 72 hours after first feeling the symptoms, then contact your doctor or call the location that gave you the vaccine to report your symptoms and issues.

    You can take Tylenol to help with fever and any pain or headache you might have.  For chills - a warm blanket and a warm beverage helps.

    There are many different side effects.

    Most people feel sick for a day or some.

    Some people have severe joint pain for weeks.

    And then we hope you don't end up like Dr. Gregory Michael = 6ft under
