Was your baby upset after the third vaccine?

Just had our third shot today and baby has been crying hysterically all evening until he fell asleep. He didn’t have a fever but we gave him Calpol just in case he is pain. Now I am wondering whether it was the jab that was upsetting him or something else. Did your LO cry in the 24h after the vaccine?
