Brief Answer:
Just the usual possibility of pain and fever. Nothing else.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Apart from the usual possible side effect of getting some fever or pain, Quadrovax vaccine [vaccine for Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whole Cell) and Haemophilus Type b Conjugate Vaccine(Adsorbed)] does not have any other side effects if an additional dose is given.

Relax. You need not worry.
