| ought | may |
Explanation:
The statement is incorrect because there is no "to" following "ought." The amended line should be: "These should start six to twelve hours after vaccination and last up to two days." The phrase "ought" refers to a duty or obligation. To indicate the expected or advised action in this context, use "to" after it. Adding "to" creates the right wording, "ought to."
