These are the coronavirus vaccine side effects Dr. Fauci says you should expect

[Yoni Heisler]

• Coronavirus vaccines from both Pfizer and Moderna were found to be 95% effective during clinical trials.
• Reported side effects from the vaccines include arm pain, fever, and muscle aches — all extremely minor issues.
• Only 10-15% of volunteers who received a coronavirus vaccine experienced any side effects. Those who did said the side effects typically went away within 24 hours.

Back in September, 49% of respondents in a Pew Research poll indicated that they wouldn't take a coronavirus vaccine due to concerns regarding side effects. This is a notable and potentially worrisome statistic because a vaccine of any type is only effective when a critical mass of people within a given population receive it. With respect to the coronavirus, Dr. Fauci recently said that approximately 80% of Americans will need to take a coronavirus vaccine if we want to firmly put the pandemic behind us.

Fast forward a few months and we now have not one, but a few promising vaccines on the horizon. Most notably, vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna were shown to be 95% effective at preventing the coronavirus from taking hold. What's more, Moderna's vaccine in particular was found to be 100% effective at preventing an individual from experiencing severe coronavirus symptoms.
