It does not mean that all people using these vaccines will have any side effects. Single Measles vaccine Adverse reactions : Local redness and/or swelling around the site of the injection are not uncommon and regional lymphadenopathy may occur rarely. Fever or mild rash, or both, or sore throat, may occur 5 to 12 days after administration of Measles Vaccine. Based on clinical trials, the febrile response would be expected to be mild to moderate in about 95% of cases and high, (›39.4°C) in 4-5% of recipients. With high temperatures the possibility of convulsions developing is present. Rash may occur in 12 to 16% of vaccines and is usually minimal. Sometimes malaise and dizziness can occur, as well as vasculitis or diarrhoea. In rare cases the nervous system could be affected. Single Rubella vaccine Some patients may get a mild non-infectious case of Rubella. The signs for this may appear a few days after the vaccine has been given and could include rash, fever, swollen glands and painful joints. Single Mumps vaccine A single dose of Mumpsvax may cause a sharp sting at the injection site due to the slight acidity of the vaccine. Moderate fever occasionally occurs but high fever of >39.4°C is rare. Reactions of swelling and inflammation at the injection site are extremely rare. Other reactions such as encephalitis or febrile convulsions and nerve deafness have occurred very rarely in individuals, but a causal link could not be established. Single Chicken Pox Vaccine Reactions at the injection site are mild and transient; 5% of patients may have a temperature of >37.5°C - 38°C. Diptheria Tetanus Pertussis Vaccine Mild reactions such as pain, tenderness and swelling at the injection site are common.
