COVID-19 vaccines attract a lot of audiences themselves because of the question regarding the
safety of the vaccine. There are a lot of questions regarding the protection of coronavirus as it is
developed and distributed globally with comparatively fewer safety checks because of the
pandemic spread globally. The vaccine is highly effective in stopping the spread of the COVID-
19 virus. It may have Side Effects like other medications.
The majority of side effects of coronavirus vaccines are mild and temporary, and they
automatically recover within a few days. The side effects have appeared because our body built
antibodies against the virus.
Potential side effects of Coronavirus vaccines are mentioned below:
● Pain or swelling at the injection site: A person may suffer from mild pain and swelling
at the site of administration of the vaccine.
● Fatigue: Muscle pain or fatigue is commonly reported by the person who receives the
vaccine.
● Body pain: The person who received the covered vaccine may experience headaches,
from mild to severe and joint pain. These symptoms are mild and occur for
a brief duration of time.
● Fever: Low-grade fever may occur as our immune system makes antibodies
against the virus or attenuated virus present in the vaccine.
All the symptoms may cause discomfort, which is the body’s reaction to the vaccine injected into
it. The body treats the COVID-19 vaccine as a foreign substance and starts making antibodies
against the injected vaccine.
Comparing Risks:
All these questions arose after AstraZeneca, the parent company of COVID-19 Shield, accepted
that their vaccine may cause rare side effects of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome
(TTS). TTS is a rare syndrome yet it is a severe health condition or disease linked with the
administration of the COVID-19 vaccine.
What to Expect After Vaccination:
After the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine, people may experience mild side effects for 2
to 3 days, which can be recovered within a certain time without any medication. There is a
5% chance of suffering from TTS after the administration of the COVID-19 shield
vaccine.
The side effects occurred within a week after the first dose of the vaccine was administered.
According to the study, 55% of the population may suffer from mild symptoms after getting the
COVID-19 vaccine, 45% have no side effects, and only 5% show minor adverse side effects
after the administration of the vaccine.
