Kittens, like humans, can have temporary reactions to vaccines. Mild shaking and increased tiredness can occur as their immune system responds to the vaccine. Generally, these effects should diminish within 24-48 hours. However, keep watch for any worsening symptoms or new developments, and consult a veterinarian if needed.
