You mentioned in a previous question that Noushi was limping, so the shivering could be from pain or it could be a fever. You can see a slight fever after getting vaccines, but that should go away. I'd keep her indoors, keep her warm and quiet, and rest her. If she is still acting this way in the morning, then get her checked out by a vet. Best of luck!
