Dr. Wang Jihong
Side effects of the hepatitis B vaccine are generally mild. Most people do not experience any side effects after vaccination. However, a small number of individuals may develop redness, swelling, or induration at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. Some individuals may also experience fever, nausea, or vomiting; these symptoms usually subside within approximately three days.
