Top tips for immunisation day

Clothes - Wear a short-sleeved shirt, blouse or T-shirt for the session, to make it easy for the immunisation nurse to give the vaccine in your upper arm.

Food - Make sure you have something to eat and drink before school and during the school day, after you’ve had your vaccination.

Keep calm - Remember it’s OK to feel nervous, but it’s really important to stay calm, and the nurse giving you the vaccination will be able to help you with this.

Music - If your school allows, you can listen to music during the vaccination to help you chill out.

Relax and count to 5 - The injection is really quick and will be over before you know it!

After having a vaccination

After having a vaccination, you may have some minor side effects. For example:

Often people experience redness, swelling or pain around the injection site, and may have a bit of a headache
Other common side effects include some bruising or itchiness at the injection site, a high temperature or feeling hot and shivery, sick and some pain in the arms and legs.

These symptoms shouldn’t last very long, and taking pain killers, such as paracetamol, can help you feel better. It’s also a good idea to have something to eat, and a drink so you stay hydrated after you’ve had a vaccination. If your symptoms last a while, or get worse, call the free NHS helpline on 111, or contact your GP.
