After the shot is administered, soreness, redness, warmth, and in some cases, a slight swelling can occur. Soreness at the injection site is the most common side effect. This pain and soreness usually lasts less than two days. Aches and Pains Sometimes you might experience some achiness and pain in the muscles throughout your body after the shot. Like the pain at the injection site, this usually happens on the first day and goes away within one to two days. Taking pain relievers can help alleviate some of the pain. Headache Headaches, and in some cases dizziness or fainting, can be a side effect of both the shot and the nasal spray. This is considered a mild side effect, and it should not last longer than a day or two. If you are prone to fainting or dizziness with shots, be sure to inform your healthcare provider. Fever A fever of 101 degrees or less is a common side effect of both the shot and the nasal spray. A slight fever is considered a mild side effect, and it should go away within a day or two. A high fever (over 101 degrees) is not common, and you should call your doctor or seek medical attention if you are concerned.
