« Safeguarding Health: Understanding Vaccine Side Effects »
COVID-19 vaccines are essential tools in controlling the spread of the coronavirus and protecting public health. Like all medicines, COVID-19 vaccines can cause side effects, and it’s normal to experience them after vaccination. Side effects indicate that the vaccine is teaching the body’s immune system to protect itself from the disease. It’s important to note that not everyone will experience side effects, and most of them are mild and short-lived, lasting only a day or two. The most frequently reported side effects associated with COVID-19 vaccines include: Pain, tenderness, and a heavy feeling in the arm where the injection was given. Feeling tired and fatigued. Headache, muscle, and joint pain. Fever and chills. Nausea. Skin reactions at the injection site are also common, such as pain, swelling, redness, and an itchy rash. These side effects are considered recognized and are generally mild and transient . For children and adolescents, vaccine safety is closely monitored, and reporting rates of adverse events following vaccination are stable. As for booster doses, the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) continues to monitor their safety in adults. The most up-to-date vaccine recommendations for children and booster doses are available from ATAGI (Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation). In rare instances, vaccines can lead to death. However, most deaths that occur after vaccination are not caused by the vaccine itself. In large populations, there might be individuals with underlying health conditions who could die from those conditions coincidentally after vaccination. The TGA carefully reviews all deaths reported after COVID-19 vaccination, and so far, very few deaths have been linked to vaccination. The deaths that were likely related to vaccination occurred in people aged 21-81 years old, and there have been no deaths linked to vaccination in children or adolescents. In terms of specific vaccines, the Comirnaty (Pfizer) mRNA vaccine is provisionally approved for adults and children aged 5 years and over. Booster doses of Pfizer’s Comirnaty and Moderna’s Spikevax vaccines are also available, and cases of myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported very rarely following booster doses. However, such cases are considered to be very rare, occurring in less than 1 in every 100,000 doses administered. It’s important to be aware of vaccine misinformation and rely on credible and trustworthy sources for information about COVID-19 vaccines. False claims and misleading rumors should be debunked, and individuals should seek information from reputable health authorities. The Research and Development Society association will need your help.

Overall, the vast majority of people who receive COVID-19 vaccines experience only mild side effects, which are a sign that the immune system is responding appropriately to the vaccine and building protection against the virus.
