Covid-19 Vaccine Side Effects: It is important to know that the side effects that occur after the vaccine, why they occur and why some are less or some are more. Apart from this, it is very important to know that it is not a matter of panic.
The world’s largest vaccination program is going on in India and so far more than 26.53 crore doses have been administered under this program. Side effects such as headache, fatigue and fever have also been reported in some people after taking a dose of the vaccine, which are indicative of the functioning of the immune system. These side effects are common after taking a dose of the vaccine. According to Dr Peter Marks, head of vaccines of the US Food and Drug Regulatory (FDA), if he gets the vaccine, then the next day he will not plan to do such work, which takes more physical labor. Marx felt tired after taking the first dose. In such a situation, it is important to know that the side effects that occur after the vaccine, why they occur and why some are less or some have more. Apart from this, it is very important to know that it is not a matter of panic.
This is how the immune system works after the vaccine
The body’s immune system mainly consists of two parts. When a foreign substance such as a virus enters the body, the first part is activated and the white blood cells (WBC) collect where the virus enters. Due to this inflammation is felt, due to which chills, pain, fatigue or other side effects are felt. How long the immune system shows this activity, it also depends on the age of the person. This is the reason that more side effects have been reported in the youth than in the elderly. Apart from this, some vaccines show more reactions than others. However, this does not mean that the vaccine is not working if you do not feel anything for one to two days after taking the dose.
At the same time, the other part of the immune system works from behind the scenes. The dose of the vaccine activates this other part, which protects the body from the virus by making antibodies.
Precautions to be taken regarding vaccination
Sometimes it happens that when the immune system is activated, it causes temporary swelling of the lymph nodes such as under the arms. For this reason, women are advised to have routine mammograms (x-rays of the breast) before vaccination so that if any such swelling occurs, it is not mistaken for cancer.
In some people, due to allergies, side effects of the vaccine are also seen. Because of this, people are asked to stay at the vaccination center for about 15 minutes after the dose is administered so that if any reaction comes, it can be treated quickly.
Not all side effects are common
Not all side effects are common due to vaccination. Although vaccine doses are being given to millions of people around the world and they are being closely monitored, very few serious cases have been reported. Serious problems, such as abnormal blood clotting, have been reported in some people after receiving doses of AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson Vaccines. This has led some countries to reserve these shots for older people, but regulatory bodies say the benefits of the vaccine still outweigh the risks.
Authorities are currently trying to find out whether there are very few cases of heart inflammation after the injection of mRNA vaccine. This type of problem is coming after applying the vaccine of Pfizer and Moderna. US health officials say that nothing can be said clearly about a link between vaccine doses and heart inflammation, but reports of youth are being monitored.
