¿Cuáles son los efectos secundarios de las vacunas contra el Covid-19?

Los efectos secundarios varían según cada individuo y la vacuna. Aproximadamente entre el 10 y el 15 por ciento de las personas que reciben la vacuna probablemente tendrán efectos secundarios que podrán ser percibidos. Los más comunes incluyen dolor o enrojecimiento en el lugar de la inyección, fatiga, dolor de cabeza, dolor muscular, fiebre y escalofríos. La mayoría de dichos efectos secundarios se resuelven en un día. Los ensayos clínicos de las vacunas Pfizer y Modernatuvieron un número reducido de personas que experimentaron efectos secundarios graves.

Los investigadores seguirán continuamente monitoreando a las personas vacunadas para detectar la aparición de efectos secundarios a largo plazo. En los Estados Unidos, existen múltiples sistemas de seguridad para todas las vacunas. Estos sistemas se utilizarán para monitorear la seguridad de las vacunas contra el Covid-19.

Side effects vary depending on the individual and the vaccine. Many people may have mild side effects. The most common include pain or redness at the site of the injection, fatigue, headache, muscle ache, fever, and chills. Most let up within a day. Clinical trials of both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines had low numbers of people experiencing severe side effects.
