POTENTIAN SIDE EFFECTS OF COVID VACCINE
[1]
Hello and welcome to medsimplified.
I wouldn’t be wrong if I say that the year
[10]
2020 will be remembered as the “Covid Year”
in history and we as a generation watched
[15]
this story unfold from the wet markets of
Wuhan, china to every street of every city
[21]
in every country of this world.
It has been more than one year of this pandemic
[26]
which has had a devastating effect on this
whole planet. With more than 92 million cases
[32]
& 2 million deaths, this pandemic doesn’t
seem to stop. The virus is surging in many
[38]
regions and countries that had apparent success
in suppressing the initial outbreaks and are
[43]
also seeing a rise in infections again.
The World Health Organization has warned that
[48]
the virus will continue to spread rapidly
in the coming months. Many European countries
[53]
witnessed an increase in cases during the
autumn, and many countries implemented lockdowns
[58]
and other restrictions to curb the infections.
United Kingdom is also experiencing another
[64]
steep rise in cases driven by a new, more
easily spread, mutated variant of the virus.
[72]
Several coronavirus vaccines have now been
approved for use, either by individual countries,
[77]
or the EU and WHO. There are currently more
than 50 COVID-19 vaccine candidates in trials.
[84]
Currently, two vaccines are authorized and
recommended for COVID-19:
[90]
• Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine
• Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine
[96]
As of December 28, 2020, large-scale Phase
3 clinical trials are in progress for three
[103]
COVID-19 vaccines in the United States:
• AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine
[109]
• Johnsen’s COVID-19 vaccine
• Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine
[111]
COVID-19 vaccines help our bodies develop
immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19,
[119]
without us having to get the illness. Different
types of vaccines work in different ways to
[125]
offer protection, but with all types of vaccines,
the body is left with a supply of “memory”
[131]
T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and antibodies
that will remember how to fight that virus
[137]
in the future.
It typically takes a few weeks for the body
[145]
to produce T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes
after vaccination.
[149]
Sometimes after vaccination, the process of
building immunity can cause symptoms, such
[153]
as fever, muscle pain, fatigue etc. These
symptoms are normal and are a sign that the
[159]
body is building immunity.
So, it’s very important that you understand
[162]
the minor side-effects of Covid vaccine and
also we will discuss some of the rare but
[168]
serious complications that can occur. Also
we will talk about whether you can get covid-19
[173]
from a covid vaccine?
So, without further ado let’s begin.
[179]
The most common side effects that you can
experience after COVID-19 Vaccine include:
[184]
• injection site pain • tiredness • headache
• muscle pain • chills, swollen lymph
[191]
nodes • joint pain • fever • injection
site swelling • injection site redness AND
[201]
nausea
These are known as minor or expected side
[205]
effects of a vaccine and they can occur not
just after Covid vaccine but in fact after
[210]
most of the vaccines that you receive. These
side effects occur because your body is adapting
[215]
to the vaccine.
You see, Vaccines work by introducing a small
[219]
number of bacteria, virus or toxin into the
body. Because the bacteria, virus or toxin
[225]
have been killed or weakened, there's no risk
of contracting the disease in question. However,
[231]
your body responds as if it were under attack,
and mounts an immune response. If, in the
[237]
future, you do encounter that disease, you'll
have an army of cells and antibodies ready
[242]
to fight it.
This means that any adverse effects you experience
[246]
are unlikely to be caused by the bacteria,
virus or toxin. Most of the common side effects
[253]
such as a sore arm, redness and fever are
caused by the injection, or by your own immune
[258]
system fighting against the weakened invaders.
[260]
What are the chances of serious side effects?
Serious adverse events, while possible, are
[270]
very rare. Let’s take the example of yellow
fever that is also caused by a virus.
[275]
According to the WHO, serious side effects
occur at a rate of around 0.09 to 0.4 cases
[282]
per 10,000 doses of the yellow fever vaccine,
in populations who haven't been exposed to
[287]
the virus. By contrast, the serious form of
yellow fever is fatal around half the time.
[296]
On a similar note, the rate of serious allergic
reactions is around 1-2 cases per million
[301]
across all vaccines. Compare that with the
death rate for measles (around 1 in 500),
[308]
and for flu which causes around 200 deaths
in the UK alone, every winter, and it's obvious
[314]
which is riskier.
[315]
What we need to understand are the risks and
benefits - how many people are dying from
[320]
yellow fever; how many people are dying from
measles VS how many died from any serious
[326]
adverse effect of the vaccine.
Clearly, adverse effects are tragic for the
[330]
individual and the family but they are rare,
and we need to balance this with the risks
[335]
associated with that disease.
So, there is a remote chance that Covid-19
[340]
Vaccine can cause a severe allergic reaction.
A severe allergic reaction would usually occur
[345]
within a few minutes to one hour after getting
a dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine. For this reason,
[351]
your vaccination provider may ask you to stay
at the place where you received your vaccine
[356]
for monitoring after vaccination.
Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include:
[361]
• Difficulty breathing • Swelling of your
face and throat
[365]
• A fast heartbeat
• A skin rash all over your body • Dizziness
[370]
and weakness
[372]
CAN THE COVID VACCINE GIVE ME COVID-19?
The simple answer to this question is a “BIG
[381]
NO”. None of the COVID-19 Vaccines contain
SARS-CoV-2 virus, so it is not possible that
[388]
you can CONTRACT covid-19 from the covid vaccine.
So guys I hope I was able to answer most of
[394]
your questions regarding side effects of covid
vaccine in this video. If you have anymore
