<s>[INST] i had a vaccination for meningitis around 3 days ago and ever since it has been sore when touched or when it has been in contact with anything and it has also a big red circle around the where the needle went in and also a big numb on it is this normal? [/INST] Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thank you for your query It is usual to have a local reaction at the site of meningitis vaccination. These usually last 2 or 3 days. If it persists longer or if there is fever, then there is a possibility of an infection at the site of vaccination. Check with your health care provider. Serious side effects are rare and can include high fever, weakness, and changes in behavior. Take Care Chat Doctor.  </s>
