Meningitis Vaccine

[ReOxyS]

I never would've thought I would need one since I'm past the susceptible age, but I totally understand why they insist. Got my shot yesterday, no immediate problems. My arm is a bit sore right now, and my throat is sore. Nothing major. I've got a bit of malaise, too.

Anybody else get like this after the meningitis vac?

Good day, ReOxyS:

If it was an attenuated vaccine, there's a chance to have acute (quick onset, short lasting) symptoms. From one prenursing student to another (not medical advice), if you are still not feeling well after a few days, see your doctor.

Thank you.
