Anaphylaxis, a severe type of allergic reaction, can occur after any kind of vaccination. Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and has occurred at a rate of approximately 5 cases per one million vaccine doses administered.Systemic reactions, including fatigue, headache, myalgia, chills, fever, and joint pain, occurred in participants after the first dose, although they were more frequently reported after the second dose among both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccine recipients.CDC is providing timely updates on the following adverse events of interest: Data from millions of v-safe participants indicate that injection site pain is common after both the first and second doses of either mRNA-based vaccine. People over 65 were also less likely to have side effects than people under 65, regardless of which vaccine they received. Overall, 74 per cent of people said they had general reactions after their Moderna shot, compared with 64 per cent of people getting Pfizer/BioNTech.Įlderly people more likely to experience side-effects Almost 82 per cent of people getting their second Moderna shot had injection site pain versus just under 69 per cent of people with Pfizer/BioNTech. Nearly 51 per cent of Moderna recipients had full-body symptoms, compared with 48 per cent of people who got the Pfizer/BioNTech shot.

Reactogenicity refers to a subset of reactions that occur soon after vaccination. Researchers of this study say that a greater percentage of participants who received the Moderna vaccine, compared with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, reported reactogenicity this pattern was more pronounced after the second dose. People who received Moderna vax had more side effects Nearly 70 per cent of those said they had some kind of injection site reaction, like pain or swelling, and half had generalised reaction like fatigue or chills. A total of 3,643,918 people were enrolled in v-safe and completed at least one health survey within seven days following their first vaccine dose before February 21, and 1,920,872 v-safe participants reported receiving a second vaccine dose and completed at least one daily health survey within seven days following the second dose.

The journal JAMA published this study.ħ0 per cent people experienced some injection site reactionįor this study, researchers looked at reports collected via a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) programme called v-safe that tracks side effects in vaccine recipients. Now, a new study has pointed out that those taking the Moderna vaccine have reported more side effects than people who get the Pfizer/BioNTech jabs. The AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine has been in the news for some time now after reports of blood clots was reported in recipients. In India, after getting the shot, recipeints are required to wait for 30 minutes before leaving the vaccination centre. Healthcare professionals are also taking measures to ensure that any adverse reaction, if any, are immediately taken care of. Hence, many vaccines have come under the scanner and scientists are studying possible side-effects that may come up. Many recipients have also been reported dead. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 vaccination drive, there have been reports of adverse effects, some minor and some serious. Written by Jahnavi Sarma |Published : Ap6:07 PM IST
