• Some less common side effects from the vaccine include are possible, and many people are unaware of what to expect.

One of the more interesting anecdotes surrounding Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine was relayed by Dr. Anthony Fauci during an interview back in January. As Fauci detailed, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla called him up the night before Pfizer's Phase 3 coronavirus study went public to tell him the good news.

"The CEO said something like, ‘Are you sitting down?’ And I said, ‘Oh my goodness. This is either really good news, or it’s really bad news,’ because I knew they were looking at their results. I said ‘Yeah, I’m sitting down.’ He said, ‘You’re not going to believe this, but it’s like 95% efficacious.’ And it was — you know, I started to cry. I really did."
