It is fine if baby doesn't have any danger sign and feeding is good ,then just follow the course ,if high grade fever is present use the fever syrup 6th hourly and do tepitz sponging with liuke warm water.
Baby is dull only during fever spike and in between active no need to worry it us usually viral.

Fever could be viral upper respiratory infection not due to vaccination,
Kindly take prescribed medication as it might take 5-7 days, if persistent go for physical examination and investigation
