The first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine that 180 agents of the Salamanca Local Police have received this past Saturday has already generated the first counter-types among the staff.
According to sources from the Salamanca City Council at noon this Sunday, March 7, a total of 16 agents have communicated to the head of the Local Police adverse reactions, mainly fever, which they have suffered in the last hours.
Headache, fatigue, fever, nausea or chills are some of the frequent symptoms that may appear after receiving the coronavirus vaccine, as recognized by the Ministry of Health itself in a report on vaccination, in which it explains that while antigens Pfizer and Moderna usually cause this reaction in the second dose, AstraZeneca does in the first.
This, together as indicated by experts in Immunology, to the fact that the immune response “increases” in younger people, makes them precisely those who have received the vaccine for those under 55 years old – teachers, health workers who are not on the front line against the virus or, in this case, Local Police officers— those who have noticed these effects the most so far. In any case, the experts assure that it is something “normal”, a sign that the organism “is generating an immune response to the drug”.
