1. Don’t Panic about COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects:
If you are feeling anxious and worry about the side effects of vaccine, there’s no need to worry according to doctors and it’s safe and working. But it’s also true that you might get chills, muscle aches, fever and fatigue as side effects of vaccine. But it’s a good sign as it shows that your immune system is mounting a resistance to the virus. And it is completely normal and there is no need to be panic about. According to the pharmacist, first dose of vaccine primes the immune response and then produce antibodies that will know how to fight the real thing.
During second dose, you already have some level of protection from the antibodies to the spike protein target of the vaccine. This allows your immune system to respond more strongly and quickly to the vaccine, which can lead to more inflammation as response. It’s a sign that your immune system is working to provide protection against the virus.
