Yes, this is normal and expected effect. Take paracetamol 500mg for the pain/ medication given at vaccine centre. You will experience this weakness for up to 72 hours after the vaccine. Eat good food and rest There is no need to  worry. ✌

The symptoms will subside within few days. Tablet paracetamol (650) is to be taken if fever or joint pain persists, kindly consult with me on practo app  if it persists more than 2-3 days
