Hi!
Hepatitis vaccines are generally considered safe though they may occasionally cause side effects. Hepatitis B vaccine can cause pain and soreness at the injection site. Other effects are dizziness, fatigue, mild fever, sore throat, nausea etc.Redness, swelling at injection site, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, nausea are few common side effects of hepatitis A vaccine. Allergic reactions like hives, difficulty in breathing, swelling of lips, mouth, vision changes can occur in any person. In such a case immediate medical attention should be sought. Hope you find this information useful. Take care!
