Symptom narrative

I received Capvaxive 21. I had previously received Pneumovax 23 on 06/30/2002. I received the injection at about 7:30 am and only had a sore arm for most of the day. At about 9:30 pm, I started feeling a dull headache, and wondered if it might be low blood sugar. I drank about two mouthfuls of cold chocolate milk and had a sudden, very strong wave of chills run through my entire body, and was immediately freezing, shivering, and having trouble speaking. I had to sleep under heavy covers using a heating pad that night, and was very cold every time I woke up during the night. By the next morning, the chills were gone and I was left with only a sore arm again. I've never had an adverse reaction to a vaccination before, including flu, shingles, covid, cholera, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, MMR, meningococcal, Tdap, typhoid, and yellow fever.
