      negligable or it wouldn’t be given in the first place. Some vaccines may make you feel a bit unwell but that is your immune system working to produce the antibodies it needs to make the vaccine work. The BCG vaccine (which is not given in the UK anymore) gives you a local reaction so you have a scar formed. Any other reaction should be immediately reported to a doctor.
