The effects are not too far from those already known in previous doses
It is the second booster dose since vaccination began
The Ministry of Health has given the green light to the inoculation of the fourth dose of the vaccine against COVID-19 in the most vulnerable population, those who are in nursing homes and/or are over 80 years old. Department sources say it is “the most appropriate time according to the current epidemiological situation“. Now, although at the moment this dose is confirmed for people with depressed immunity and the elderly, as dictated by the WHO, will end up being administered to the general population.
What are the effects of the fourth dose of the COVID vaccine?
The side effects of this second booster dose are not too different from those that have been recorded on previous occasions: although there are experts who believe that they may be more adverse, if the general population has not had a problem with the previous three punctures, it is possible that nothing new will happen.
Therefore, we remind you of the effects of the COVID-19 vaccine known to date, and the most common: fever, pain at the injection site, redness of the area, or swollen lymph nodes near the arm.
