We are in the midst of a pandemic and the solution to reduce the rate of new cases of coronavirus is not only self-testing but also vaccines.
When you don’t know something, you are definitely afraid.. and this becomes even more pronounced when you do get a vaccine, there are sometimes some side effects.
But aren’t there theoretically side effects to everything?
Just look at a box of aspirin what it says as symptoms… have you ever had any of these?
Or is the positive effect of not having a headache, for example, more important and more frequent than the risk of getting something that is typically listed in the drug instructions?
Some are in favour of the Covid19 vaccine, some are not… Are you for or against?
According to a study of 627,383 people at Kings’ College London, comparing the two Pfiser and Astrazeneca vaccines, the most common systemic adverse react ions are short-lasting headache, fatigue, hypersensitivity, chills, diarrhoea, fever, myalgia, arthralgia, nausea. On the other hand, there are also local side effects, in the area where the vaccine is injected, which are pain, swelling, hypersensitivity, redness, itching, burning sensation and possibly swelling in the lymph nodes of the armpit.
The symptoms depend on the age of the person doing it, their antibodies and whether they have had Covid-19 before. In particular, younger people under 55 and women are more likely to have systemic side effects from the vaccine, three times as likely as Pfizer’s vaccine for those who had previously been sick, and twice as likely as AstraZeneca’s. In terms of local symptoms and side effects, those who were already sick with COVID-19 are more affected.
Usually adverse reactions start within the first 24 hours after the vaccination procedure and last for 2.3 days. Side effects are more common in the high-risk group.
Among all vaccinees, 25.4% reported one or more systemic side effects and 66.2% reported local side effects. Specifically, for the Pfizer vaccine the rates were 13.5% and 22% after the first and second dose respectively, while for the first dose of AstraZeneca the rates were 33.7%.
