small-to-moderate side effects, like a low-grade fever or muscle aches, are normal and not a cause for alarm: they are signs that the body’s immune system is responding to the vaccine, specifically the antigen (a substance that triggers an immune response), and is gearing up to fight the virus.
Experiencing no side effects doesn’t mean the vaccine is ineffective.
Common side effects of COVID-19 vaccines
Like any vaccine, COVID-19 vaccines can cause side effects, most of which are mild or moderate and go away within a few days on their own.
The side effects are pain at the injection site, fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, and diarrhea. The chances of these side effects caused after the vaccination are due to according to the specific vaccine.
COVID-19 vaccines protect against the SARS-CoV-2 virus only, so it’s still important to keep yourself healthy and well.
Less common side effects
Upon receiving the vaccine, a person should be requested to stay for 15–30 minutes at the vaccination site so health workers are available in case of any immediate reactions. Individuals should alert their local health providers following vaccination if they experience any unexpected side effects or other health events – such as side effects lasting more than three days. very Fewer side effects reported for some COVID-19 vaccines have included severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis; however, this reaction is extremely rare.
National authorities and international bodies, including WHO, are closely monitoring for any unexpected side effects following COVID-19 vaccine use.
Long-term side effects
Side effects usually occur within the first few days of getting a vaccine. Since the first vaccination program started in December 2020, hundreds of millions of vaccine doses have come into the picture.
The concerns about COVID-19 vaccines making people sick with COVID-19.
After vaccination, it will take a few weeks for the body to build immunity against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. So it’s possible a person could be infected with SARS-CoV-2 just before or after vaccination and still get sick with COVID-19. This is caused because the vaccine has not yet had enough time to provide people.
getting side effects after getting vaccinated means the vaccine is working and your immune system is responding as it should. Vaccines are good, safe, and getting vaccinated will help protect you against COVID-19.
Jodie Hayes If it is proven to work as she says, why do they tell us we still have to maintain social distancing & still wear masks after being vaccinated? The answer - they DON’T know if it works. There is so much conflicting information out there, a person does not know what to believe BUT, someone from WHO is the last person I’d believe. They haven’t exactly proven themselves to be very truthful since the virus was released in China. There is no way they are putting this unproven chemical cocktail in my body.
Moira Bracknell the difference is "we" don't have a shepherd or a voice telling us what to do, think, when to go out and what to obey. Our shepherd is our research, not being naive enough to believe these elites (who by the way don't give a toss about the health of you or me) and weighing up the evidence. I don't expect everyone to believe what I believe. But what I don't expect is people to blindly believe a very very very 1 sided BBC main steam media service. If I want to buy a new car I research all the options. What frustrates me is the scared masses don't even take the time to research the full picture. That's all I ask. E.g. A 30 year old popular Ukrainian superstar died of covid recently. He was outspoken against covid. The BBC jumped all over it like a rash to discredit the man. My wife is Ukrainian was watching an interview on Ukrainian media whereby his parents say he was born with a hole in his heart and was recovering from pneumonia last year. NOT ONE TIME IN THAT ENTIRE BBC ARTICLE DID THEY MENTION THAT. sloppy one-sided journalism that the masses follow without taking 2 minutes to look into other avenues. That's my concern. A population of scared people will believe all they are told...
