Hi...pain and fever are quite common after any vaccination and as such pain is very subjective phenomenon - what I mean is that - with very severe pain somebody will be walking normally and some will be immobile for mild pain. So what I suggest is to wait for another 24 hours and if your son is still limping and curling his toes... I suggest you consult your paediatrician.
