Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo News
The side effects of the updated COVID-19 vaccines are reported to be similar to those of the previous vaccines, according to Johns Hopkins. Common side effects include pain, swelling, redness at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, nausea, and fever. Severe, rare side effects such as anaphylaxis, myocarditis, and pericarditis have been reported but are treatable. To relieve common side effects, individuals are advised to rest, drink fluids, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Medical care should be sought if side effects worsen or persist, or if severe allergic reactions or emergency warning symptoms occur.
