The lead does not vaporize at soldering temperatures. The fumes are just flux. Will irritate eyes and airway, but won't really hurt you. However do wash your hands, and if you are de-soldering with a pump you probably want to vacuum wipe surfaces with a damp cloth, as you can end up creating some lead dust in the process.
