COVID-19 Vaccine FAQs
1. Is the vaccine safe?
** The vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech has been approved for use in the UK after meeting strict standards of safety, quality and effectiveness set out by the independent Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which follows international standards of safety.
** The same vaccine has also been approved for use in the United States by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
** Thousands of people have been given a COVID-19 vaccine so far, and no serious side effects or complications have been reported.
2. How does the vaccine work?
The vaccine introduces genetic material called mRNA into the body that contains instructions to make a spike protein of COVID-19. In response to the protein, the body’s immune system starts to make antibodies which provide protection if a person comes into contact with the virus.
3. What are some of the side effects?
** Side effects include a sore arm where the needle went in, headaches, tiredness and achiness.
** Most side effects are mild, can be treated with painkillers such as Tylenol and should not last longer than a week. If your side effects are more extreme, please contact your doctor.
** In very rare cases, people can have a serious anaphylactic reaction within minutes of receiving the vaccine. This will be treated by the qualified and trained medical staff who give the vaccination and who will monitor each person for 15min after the vaccine is administered.
4. What studies have been done to confirm that this vaccine is safe?
The Pfizer vaccine has been through all the same clinical trials and safety checks as other licensed medicines in the UK, US Canada and Europe.
In the UK, a two-month clinical study involving about 19,000 vaccinated people showed the most common side effects were injection site reactions, fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, chills, joint pain and fever.
