More than 283.5 million coronavirus vaccine doses have been administered worldwide as of Saturday morning, with nearly 60.6 million people having received the full two-dose regimen. An increasing number of studies offered additional data about vaccine efficacy in recent weeks. Israel has shown that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine works in real-life conditions just as well as it does in clinical trials. The vaccine effectively prevents severe COVID-19, hospitalizations, and deaths — even when facing the UK mutation. Researchers in Great Britain have come to similar conclusions, offering efficacy data for people who received only one dose of either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca/Oxford drugs. Separately, studies have shown that COVID-19 survivors mount the same immune response after one dose as people who never had COVID-19 get from two doses.
After almost three months of vaccinations in North America, Europe, Israel, and other countries, it’s also clear that the side effects are minimal. The most common adverse reactions include pain at the injection site and brief flu-like symptoms, especially after the second dose. But researchers have learned more details about coronavirus vaccine side effects in recent months. Now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just updated its vaccine guidelines with three adverse effects people should be aware of.
