The development of the vaccines safe and effective which contributed to the pandemic corona virus he was slowing down. A study that appeared in 141 countries vaccination prevented 2.4 million deaths higher until August 2021, according to researchers from the University of Southern California (USC) and the Brown University, in the United States.

As the virus continues to circulate around the world, Increasing doses are recommendedespecially in people who are at greater risk of suffering serious illnesses.

There may be some vaccine applications side effects. But, The benefits of vaccination have always outweighed the risksas confirmed in the clinical trials that evaluated the inoculants before they were approved by national regulatory authorities.

I agree with you United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Vaccines, like any medicine, can have side effects.

“Side effects after receiving the COVID vaccine vary from person to person. The most common are usually mild, such as pain in the area where the vaccine was given,” CDC experts said.

Lose Side effects usually disappear within a few days and tend to be mild and temporary., such as those experienced after vaccinations that were common before COVID. “Even if you don’t have any side effects, your body is creating a defense against the virus that causes COVID-19,” explained CDC experts.

Serious allergic reactions after vaccination are rare, but can be life-threatening. Symptoms may include:

  • Anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening reaction that must be treated with epinephrine (EpiPen) and may require hospitalization. Symptoms include wheezing, difficulty breathing, or low blood pressure; and sometimes fingers.
  • Inflammation of the airways, including the tongue, uvula, or larynx.
  • A generalized skin rash that affects the skin and inside places such as the mouth or nose and requires hospitalization.
  • If these reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately.

Regarding the messenger RNA vaccines for COVIDthe CDC specifically reported that common side effects after application may include: pain, discomfort, redness at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain partial, chills, fever, nausea, and vomiting.

In infants and young children, common symptoms include irritability or crying, decreased appetite, and sleepiness.

In different countries, the vaccine “ChAdOx1-S”, developed by the University of Oxford and the company AstraZenecain the United Kingdom, which used a dissimilar viral vector platform.

The company recently admitted that one of the side effects may be related to the thrombosis syndrome with thrombocytopenia. He admitted this in a series of legal documents filed at a trial pending in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom.

In 2021, scientists from the company had published the report ‘Very rare thrombosis with thrombocytopenia after the second dose of AZD1222: an analysis of the global safety database’. The document noted that “since the launch of the vaccine, very rare cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome have been reported. “

The link between the vaccine and the condition was also identified in a study published in 2022 by the scientific journal The British Medical Journal. The work analyzed a number of suspicious cases in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

However, the Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety, a group of experts who provide independent and well-founded guidance to the World Health Organization (WHO) on the safe use of vaccines, considered the following in 2022: “A new type of very rare adverse event, called thrombosis syndrome with thrombocytopenia, after giving this vaccine. This syndrome includes severe and rare blood coagulation disorders associated with low platelet counts. “

The Committee’s experts also believed that “in the countries where SARS-CoV-2 transmission is currently recorded, The benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risks.with the protection provided by the vaccine against COVID-19″.

The drug regulatory authority is in the United Kingdom It has also informed the public about the possibility of side effects with the administration of the vaccine developed by Oxford / AstraZeneca in 2023.

“It was seen very rare cases of blood clots with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia syndrome) after vaccination with AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine. This included some serious cases of blood clots in different or unusual places and excessive clotting or bleeding throughout the body. Most of these cases occurred in the first 3 weeks after vaccination, but some were reported after this period,” he said.
