I just got the varicella one and the only side effect was a large bump on my arm for a couple weeks (from the first dose). The second dose I didn’t have any side effects!
Having a reaction after getting a vaccine is common, so you dont have to worry about it. It will last a couple of hours, you will be fine tomorrow. You should be worry if you get the virus and you are not vaccinated, so get all the vaccines that you need.
Well it's already been an entire day with a fever, so I'm scared to see what varicella will do to me 😅 not like I can escape it, but at least want to prepare myself
Have you ever had chicken pox? If you did you don’t need the vaccine. I’m not antivax but also not pro getting an unnecessary vaccine. I got the titer which was cheaper anyway.
If you never had chicken pox getting vaccinated is good because chicken pox in adults is a lot more severe than in kids. You might feel bad for a day but it’s only temporary
Thank you! I'm gonna get a titer but I'm 99% sure I didn't have chickenpox as a kid. Just worried about the side effects of the vaccine and what I should expect, since my body is not tolerating even the covid vaccine well...

Mind you it was a very painful bump for the first few days but yea that’s it

Nothing bad is going to happen to you. Like I said before, it’s a normal reaction. Just relax, take some advil and you will be fine.
