Does chickenpox vaccine give fever?

It is actually quite common. According to my health tracker logs, my body temperature rose slightly to 99.5 F for about 24 hours after my shot. It is just the immune system reacting. Keep tracking it, and take a paracetamol if it goes higher.

Oh, I panicked so much when my son got a fever the night after his chickenpox vaccine. But the pediatrician reassured me that it is completely normal and shows the vaccine is working. The fever went away on its own by next morning.

I know how stressful it is to get a fever after a vaccine, you start doubting if something went wrong. But please don't worry, a mild fever is a standard side effect of the chickenpox vaccine. Just rest, stay hydrated, and you will feel fine soon.

At my age, even a cold breeze gives me a fever, let alone a vaccine! Yes, a mild fever is normal after the chickenpox shot. Just use it as an excuse to ignore all household chores and sleep all day like I did.

Yes, I got a mild fever and some soreness in my arm after taking the shot last year. I just took a day off from work, slept a lot, and drank plenty of water. It is very common and nothing to stress about.
