Side effects of Covid-19 vaccine

Issue
People taking Covid-19 vaccine will experience temporary side-effects such
as fever, headache and fatigue among others.

Background
Vaccines usually elicit immune response in people. But, sometimes they also
generate side-effects.

Details
 The first stage of immune response will be taking place as soon as body
detects a foreign substance. This involves moving white blood cells to the
spot.
 The movement of white blood cells cause inflammatory response, which
can cause fatigue, chills and soreness.
 The response generated by the body is usually weaker in older people.
This causes lower reactions in older population than younger ones.
 Vaccine response can sometimes cause selling in lymph node present
under the arms. This can be mistaken for cancer by women.
 Other major side-effects include blood clots, which were observed in a
small population of people who were given AstraZeneca and Johnson &
Johnson vaccine.
 There are also issues of serious allergic reactions to vaccines. To
prevent this, individuals are made to wait 15min post their jab.
