Just got my Typhim Vi shot - Anybody else have side effects?
I recently got the Typhim Vi 0.5ml Im Pfs (1 Pack) vaccine to protect against typhoid fever. The shot itself wasn't bad, but I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced any side effects. I've heard it can cause things like muscle pain, upset stomach, or even more serious reactions. I'm particularly worried about the allergic reactions mentioned. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any tips on how to manage these symptoms if they show up? I appreciate any input!
I just got the shot and I'm already feeling dizzy. Is this normal or should I be worried? Also when was it safe to take a shower after the shot?
I took an antihistamine before and after the shot just to be safe, and I didn't have any issues. Might be worth talking to your doc about if you're worried about allergic reactions.
I got the Typhim Vi shot last year before my trip to India. I had a bit of a headache and felt weak for a day, but nothing too bad. Just make sure to stay hydrated and rest if you feel tired.
I had a friend who fainted after getting this shot. It was pretty scary, but he was okay after a bit. Just take it easy and listen to your body.
I had a mild allergic reaction to it. My arm was really red and swollen, but it went away after a couple of days. I'd recommend keeping an eye on the injection site just in case.
Yeah, I've heard some horror stories, but honestly, it's a small price to pay for not getting typhoid. Just listen to your body and you should be fine.
I heard muscle pain can be a thing with this vaccine. I didn't experience it, but I did feel a bit achy after. Just make sure to take it easy and rest if you need to.
I got the shot and immediately felt nauseous. It passed after a few hours, so it was worth it in the end. Just make sure you have something to take it if it gets bad.
