The only adverse reactions that my pets have ever experienced are soreness at the site (of vaccination) and lethargy for a day after the vacc.
It's the same as with humans though. The reactions vary with every individual. Your vet would be best to tell you what the risks are.

Usually lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite and listlessness are the most common. It has been found that by having the injections given a week apart the animals find it less traumatic in their systems.
Reactions to the vaccines is usually apparent within the first 24 hours at which time it may be necessary to see a Vet.

Usually lethargy, and soreness. Some dogs also develop a small bump on their side. This is because of a delayed cellular response. This lump may occur within one to three weeks of the vaccination, is usually non-painful. You can help it go down by gently massaging the area.

Some dogs don't react very well to vaccines. If your dog is one of these, talk to your vet about "TITERS". In titers, a small amount of blood is drawn from your dog which is analyzed to determine if your dog has developed resistance to diseases that you might have him vaccinated for. The analysis costs about the same as vaccines, but you might be able to avoid vaccinations if you get good titers results. If you need to have your dog vaccinated, it'll cost more but you would only get necessary vaccines, not unnecessary ones. Rabies shots are required by law and are not subject to titers analysis.
Good luck. Happy New Year.

In the last ten years researchers have become aware of many short and long term health problems due to canine/feline vaccinations. There is so much info on the net so I suggest: looking up the latest info/guidelines from the AAHA, Dr Jean Dodds at UC Davis, The Dog Place, and many other sources on adverse reactions to vaccinations and overvaccination. I lost a healthy dog in 2000 to overvaccination. Many vets have changed their protocols but many ignore the current research.

The worst reaction is an alergic reaction where their face will swell up, they will barely be able to open their eyes. Their airway can close to the point they cannot breathe. Get them to a vet right away.

Soreness at injection site, lump at injection site, lethargy, decreased appetite are the usual side effects...anything other then this needs to be reported to your vet.

more info? are you seeing what you think to be a side effect? most side effects are apparent within an half hour of the vaccine being given.
