- Disclose any history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to previous vaccines or vaccine components.
- Inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, breastfeeding, or have a weakened immune system.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing to provide easy access to the upper arm (deltoid muscle) for injection.
- Stay well-hydrated and have a light meal before your appointment to prevent lightheadedness.
- Bring your vaccination record card to the appointment for accurate updating.
Risks & possible complications
- Common, Mild Reactions: Soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site; low-grade fever; fatigue; or headache.
- Allergic Reactions: Rare risk of severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis), which is why observation post-vaccination is recommended.
- Fainting: Brief fainting (syncope) can occur, especially in adolescents.
- Muscle Aches & Chills: Temporary flu-like symptoms may occur as the immune system responds.
- Severe Complications: Extremely rare neurological or other serious side effects, which are vastly outweighed by the benefits of disease prevention.
Recovery & hospital stay
- You can typically resume normal activities immediately after vaccination.
- Apply a cool, damp cloth to the injection site to reduce soreness and swelling.
- Use over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol if you experience fever or discomfort (consult your doctor first).
- Drink plenty of fluids for the next 24-48 hours.
- Monitor for signs of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., difficulty breathing, swelling of the face/throat) for 15-30 minutes post-vaccination at the clinic and seek immediate care if they occur later.
- Update your personal vaccination record and schedule any follow-up doses as recommended.

Saanvi Roy, a 28-year-old first-year medical...
Saanvi Roy, a 28-year-old first-year medical resident, was about to begin her rotation in the oncology ward. Required to get the Hepatitis B vaccine series, she had a secret, intense needle phobia stemming from a traumatic childhood blood draw. As a future doctor, she was mortified by this fear. Logically, she knew the vaccine was crucial for her safety, but the anticipation triggered panic attacks. Her mentor, Dr. James, an internist, was understanding. He prescribed a topical numbing cream and allowed her to lie down in a quiet room. A compassionate nurse talked her through a breathing exercise during the injection. The experience was manageable, and Saanvi felt only minor arm stiffness. Completing the series became a point of personal pride. The emotional journey was profound: she moved from shame and dread to professional accomplishment and personal courage. It gave her deep empathy for anxious patients, shaping the kind of compassionate, patient-centered physician she aspired to be.
