"Understanding the Side Effects of the New COVID Vaccine: A Must-Know Guide"

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.

Apellis Pharmaceuticals has identified internal structural variations in the needle used to prepare syringes of its eye disease drug Syfovre as a possible cause of severe eye inflammation reported in patients. However, the company has not definitively linked the needle to the cases. Despite one additional case of the severe side effect, the overall frequency remains rare, leading to a 30% rise in Apellis shares as investors believe the safety crisis is abating.
