What are the side effects of typhoid fever vaccination?
The typhoid fever vaccination, like any other vaccination, can occasionally cause side effects.However, these are usually relatively weak and rarely lead to more serious complications. Side effects include changes at the injection site, such as redness, swelling or pain. Headaches and a slight increase in body temperature may also occur.
Some people may feel numb for a few days after the typhoid vaccination and feel nauseous or get diarrhea. Occasionally, pain may occur during the typhoid vaccination. They are located in the area of the injection site and can cause the vaccinated person to have difficulty moving the vaccinated arm for one or two days. In addition, the typhoid vaccination may occasionally cause abdominal pain associated with nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. However, these side effects are not very common and usually last only a few days.
When can I do sports again after the vaccination?
As a rule, there are no restrictions on sports after the typhoid vaccination. If pain occurs in the area of the injection site after the vaccination, this pain, especially muscle pain caused by sports activities, can be increased. On the day of the vaccination itself, no excessive training should be done, but there is nothing wrong with moderate physical exercise.
