Common side effects of Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine
The most common side effects of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine include headache (with 52.6% of vaccinated people experiencing this symptom), fatigue (53.1%), fever (33.6%), joint and muscle pain (26.4% and 44%), chills (31.9%), and nausea (21.9%).
*Note that the percentages mentioned above are from four different clinical trials in which 23,745 individuals have participated.
Another pretty common side effect of the vaccine is pain at the injection site. Allergic reactions could occur, too, including anaphylaxis.
According to the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, only 455 individuals had anaphylaxis (out of 19.5 million people who received the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine).
However, the FDA hasn’t authorized AstraZeneca (at least not yet). In fact, our country will soon send will soon its stock of unused AstraZeneca vaccines around the world.
