[|Human|] Hi my daughter is 9 and had a meningitis shot on Friday. Monday evening she became ill, throwing up all night and a fever. The fever was 101 and went up to 103. She very tired and is unable to sit up with out getting a really bad headache. My Dr.s nurse said that non of her patients ever had problems and wasn t sure if it was from the shot. Would a reaction take a couple days to hit her?
[|AI|]  Thank you for your query. Yes it is possible for the vaccines to have side effects for up to 5 to 7 days after the shot (depending on the type of meningitis gîtes vaccine). The symptoms are usually mild, when present and could account for the lack of incidence of side effects (as the nurse suggested). This does not rule out the possibility of the shot causing these symptoms. It is, however, better to have it looked at especially if it worries you and continues for more than 2 days. Try to keep her head slightly elevated with a pillow. Change is posture (lying down to standing) should be done gradually to avoid sudden pressure changes to the head which cause headaches.
