It is possible to get hives from vaccinations, but not from all vaccinations. This is not only related to the purity of the vaccine, but also to the individual’s constitution. In addition to vaccinations that can cause hives, blood transfusions and medications can also cause hives. Most hives caused by these things are accompanied by fever, joint pain, and swollen lymph nodes. This type of urticaria is called serous urticaria. In severe cases, it can also be accompanied by kidney damage.
