I took my cat to get 2nd year vaccines. He came home ate some wet food played for an hour, but now he has a fever, and a case of the shivers. Is this normal, how long does it usually last and is there anything I can do to keep my poor boy comfortable?

Hi - talk to your vet again, tell them what's going on and ask what they used;

Clusters of suddenly sick cats roil some veterinary clinics
Just spoke to them, no feline chlamydia shot, just one for rabies, feline distemper, and feline leukemia. Said mild fever is a normal side effect with most pets and vaccines and it should subside within 48 hours. His breathing is normal, just his ears and head are more warm than usual. Did not know that was a common side effect...
