However if it does happen there are distinct signs that will occur within minutes or up to 24 hours after the vaccination is administered. Some dogs may have an allergic reaction to the vaccine and have symptoms of anaphylactic shock. A different reaction we see 6 to 24 hours after. Longterm or recurrent ear infections may be the only sign in a small number of dogs. Pets that receive vaccines should be monitored closely and not left unattended immediately after the injection has been administered.
