My son has had the chicken pox vaccine and he has had fatigue, nausea, and a stomach ache. Is this normal?

My boy received a dose of chicken pox vaccine yesterday at noon. He doesn't feel well since, he had a stomach ache, was cold, had a nosebleed, vomited this morning and is amorphous this evening. In short he is not in his usual state but no fever Can the vaccine cause these symptoms? If yes, how long after ?

Hello, thank you for your question!

Yes, the vaccination can cause these symptoms, but they are usually mild and temporary. For now, just monitor your child's general condition.

Sincerely
