HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that she has an early infection.
Chills would normally be associated with a fever but she may not have the full gamut of symptoms yet.
Muscle and joint pain are also in keeping with an infection.
It may be best to take her to the doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps
