Vaccines have been shown to be safe and effective at preventing disease. However, they are not 100% risk-free. In fact, there are some rare but serious side effects associated with each vaccine that can occur in up to 8% of people who receive them. These side effects include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue and muscle pain -- but rarely anything more serious like seizures or paralysis.
