In the morning I got vaccinated against hepatitis A and B and in the afternoon I made an appointment with my friends to the swimming pool. Could it harm the vaccine in any way?

In rare cases, after being vaccinated against hepatitis A and B, general symptoms such as increased temperature, general breakdown, muscle pain - which are sometimes referred to as pseudo-flu symptoms, may occur in the first days after the procedure. As it is not known how the body will react, it will be wiser if you give up swimming in the pool this week.
