I've been giving these for quite some time to my patients. Aside from a localized pain/irritation that will last for a couple of days, I've yet to see anyone get a reaction to this vaccination. Odds are, if you've not reacted to a vaccine before, this one is not likely to cause any problems for you.
All the best.

Unless you are allergic to something in the vaccine which is highly unlikely, then no there are few bad side effects. Perhaps a sore arm for a day but relative to getting hepatitis that is not such a bad deal

There may be some, so ask your doctor about that before getting the vaccination. But the repercussions of having any side effects is minor when you compare it to getting Hep. B. Unless you know you're allergic to one of the components of the vaccine, it's probably worth the risk.

not typically. i havent heard of anyone having a reaction to it, but the injection site might be sore afterwards as with any shot. whoever gives it to you should make you sit there for at least 15-20 mins after the shots to make sure you dont have a reaction. this is just a precaution. i have had the 3 shot series and so has everyone i work with (150+) and no one has had a reaction other then a sore site.

I had no side affects at all, but ask your doc about it to see what they possible ones are.
