Who should not get Nexipox Vaccine?
Nexipox Vaccine should not be given to people who are allergic to Nexipox Vaccine or any of its ingredients or if they have had an allergic reaction to it earlier. Individuals who have compromised immunity such as HIV patients, and those that have fever must also refrain from getting vaccinated with Nexipox Vaccine. Pregnant females too should not be administered Nexipox Vaccine.
What are the possible side effects of Nexipox Vaccine?
The possible side effects of Nexipox Vaccine are fever, injection site itching, pain, skin rash, erythema (skin redness), and swelling. However, these are usually not bothersome and will resolve in sometime. If they don’t, consult your doctor.
