Dr. Jin Zhongkui
After receiving the hepatitis B vaccine, it is important to monitor your condition promptly. If you experience discomfort such as dizziness, headache, fever, or irritability, these may be adverse reactions to the vaccine. Such symptoms usually resolve within about three days. However, if your fever exceeds 38.5°C, you should take fast-acting antipyretic medication under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, keep the injection site clean and hygienic to prevent local infection.
