Clearly, managing fever that develops following vaccination is nothing new to front line clinicians, but during the current pandemic with fever being one of the symptoms associated with COVID-19, it is critical that the way we manage fever post-vaccination is consistent and appropriate in all settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You may already be aware of the Public Health England guidance approved via the UK-wide Flu Vaccination Programme Board as below: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fever following flu vaccination <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vaccinated individuals, parents and carers should be advised that flu vaccines may cause a mild fever which usually resolves within 48 hours. This is a common, expected reaction and isolation is not required unless COVID-19 is suspected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Feeling generally unwell, shivery, achy and tired are also commonly reported symptoms following flu vaccination. These symptoms usually disappear within one to two days without treatment but paracetamol can be given if necessary to relieve any of these symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As has always been recommended, any fever after vaccination should be monitored and if individuals, parents or carers are concerned about their, or their child\u2019s health at any time, they should seek advice from their GP or NHS 111. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPPE Supply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
