The Side Effects of the Covid Vaccine

THESE are the side effects of having the Covid-19 vaccine.

A magnifying glass has been put on the side effects of getting vaccinated against Covid-19, due to the rare blood clots reported amongst some who have received the AstraZeneca, Vaxzevria and the Janssen doses. It has been recommended to visit a doctor if you begin with symptoms that do not improve or subside after two days.

One EWN reader, Sarah, reported: “I had mild side effects from the AstraZeneca vaccine and I am 26 years old. Side effects lasted for two days and mine included feeling very tired and a slight headache. I think getting the vaccine outweighs the risk of these mild side effects.”

These are the common side effects for each vaccine:

AstraZeneca

• Fever
• Injection site reactions such as pain, swelling of the lymph nodes on the same side as the injection, swelling, redness at the site of puncture.
• Vomiting and diarrhoea
• Rare thromboembolic events

Moderna

• Injection site reactions such as pain, swelling of lymph nodes on the same side as the injection, swelling, redness at the puncture site
• Fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, pain in joints, chills, nausea, fever and vomiting
• Rarely, a severe reaction would include swelling of the face and throat, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, severe skin rash on the body, weakness and dizziness

Pfizer-BioNTech

• Injection site reactions such as pain, swelling of lymph nodes on the same side as the injection, swelling, redness at the puncture site
• Fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, pain in joints, chills, nausea, general discomfort, fever and vomiting
• Rarely, a severe reaction would include swelling of the face and throat, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, severe skin rash on the body, weakness and dizziness
• A very small possibility of allergic reaction which would cause breathing difficulties, swelling of the throat and face, fast heartbeat, a severe rash on the body, weakness and dizziness

Janssen

• Fever
• Injection site reactions such as pain, swelling and redness at the puncture site
• Headache, tiredness, nausea, muscle aches and fever
• A very small possibility of allergic reaction which would cause breathing difficulties, swelling of the throat and face, fast heartbeat, a severe rash on the body, weakness and dizziness
• Rare thromboembolic events

The Janssen vaccine has been halted in Europe due to investigations by the United States into rare thromboembolic events.
