Vaccination drives have picked up pace across the world, with millions having already received their doses. At the same time, the emergence of alarming side-effects has put people to worry and contributing to vaccine hesitancy rates.

However, not all side-effects are bad. Some, as US CDC Chief and famed epidemiologist. Dr Fauci advises, could be a sign that the vaccine is working to build up a necessary immune response, even if in an unpleasant manner.

It is common to expect side-effects after getting any vaccine shot. Adverse reactions can occur, but mostly, are numbered. On the contrary, most side-effects experienced with a vaccine are mild or moderate, last for 2-3 days and can be easily managed.

In the case of COVID vaccines, the strange side-effects are a possible reaction are the immune system's natural response against the many spike proteins which are created in the body, when the body identifies a potential threat. Hence, they should not be worried about so much.

Low-intensity muscle pain and joint aches are systematic responses generated when a vaccine is administered in the body. This is also one of the most common side-effects experienced by people who have received the vaccine dose right now (reported in over 43% cases).

Headache is also currently, the second most commonly recorded symptom with the vaccines being inoculated in India and abroad. Again, it is a clear indicator of the body generating systematic inflammation. CDC observations also show that the presence of headaches is more common after the second shot.

Fatigue, as a symptom has become a much-dissected topic during the pandemic. While a lot of people with COVID-19 experience chronic fatigue and exhaustion, experiencing bouts of fatigue or tiredness after getting a vaccine shot may also mean that the body is building required protection against the virus.
8 / 8
People who have now been inoculated against COVID-19 are warning of one common side-effect which they should never ignore- rashes. Swelling, bleeding, delirium or chronic fainting spells should also not be ignored. Consider getting urgent medical help the moment you spot one.
