There are four most common side effects experienced by recipients of booster doses of the Covid vaccine.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – The people of the United States (US) are expected to get a vaccine shot booster Covid-19 in the near future or in the next few weeks. This is still being done even though not all experts agree that the injection is needed at this time.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has actually also called for the provision of booster dose postponed until next year for the sake of equal distribution of vaccinations. In Indonesia, the vaccine dose booster Covid-19 is only given to health workers.
In the meantime, questions about vaccines booster also appeared. For example, how was the experience and did it feel the same as when you were first vaccinated.
There are some side effects of the injection booster vaccine Covid-19 the most common so far. The first is redness and swelling at the injection site.
The data Pfizer submitted to US federal officials in its request for authorization of the third dose of emergency use showed the major side effects were very much in line with what had been seen from the first and second doses. The top side effect in his trial was pain at the injection site.
“There is about five percent more pain at the injection site, but most of it is mild pain,” said Dean Blumberg, a pediatric infectious disease specialist with UC Davis Health. Huffington Post, Monday (13/9).
Blumberg notes that the data available to experts so far has come mostly from preprinted data. The data has not received peer review or information presented at the meeting of the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee.
If your arm hurts after a vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends applying a cool, wet washcloth to the area. Instead, keep the arm moving.
The second side effect is fatigue. This is the second most common side effect in administration booster Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine. It is also a common side effect for previous doses of mRNA . vaccination coronavirus.
“It’s very similar to the second dose,” says Blumberg.
According to Blumberg, however, there is no way of knowing whether people who are completely exhausted after the second injection will experience the same thing after the third dose. Likewise if they have a milder reaction or vice versa.
The first dose of the mRNA vaccine essentially introduces the body to SARS-CoV-2. Meanwhile, a second dose makes the immune system recognize the spike protein and mount an antibody response, which can cause more intense symptoms as the body does what it’s supposed to do.
In a press release accompanying its application for emergency use authorization, Pfizer stated that the frequency of side effects was similar to or better than what people experienced after a second injection. The third side effect is muscle and joint pain. This is one of the most common side effects experienced after the initial dose, and is likely to occur again with injections booster.
