More vaccine side-effects to be expected

Monday, 17 May 2021 05:10

As more vaccinations are being administered – there are more reports of side effects.

People are reporting fever, headaches, muscle pain and shingles.

According to a report in the SonntagsZeitung there are slightly more reports of side effects from Moderna than the Pfizer jab. 1,061 say they suffered after Moderna and 870 after Pfizer.

But this difference between the two is not being considered significant. The Chairman of the Federal Commission for Vaccinations, Christoph Berger, says the rate of side-effects is to be expected.
