A UCSF-led study found that side effects such as headache, chills, and tiredness from COVID-19 vaccines may indicate a strong immune response, reducing infection risk. Despite the benefits, less than 25% of Americans received last year’s updated vaccine, though it could potentially prevent severe complications and long COVID. A UCSF study suggests that side effects like headaches and chills from COVID-19 vaccines indicate a robust immune response; however, uptake of the vaccine remains low in the U.
S. despite ongoing fatalities. According to a UCSF -led study, symptoms such as headaches, chills, and fatigue could indicate an enhanced immune response.
Despite the fact that fewer than 25% of Americans have received the latest COVID-19 vaccine, over 23,000 deaths have been recorded in the United States this year. One of the most common reasons for bypassing the COVID vaccine is concern about side effects like tiredness, muscle and joint pain, chills, headache, fever, nausea, and feeling generally unwell. But a new study, led by UC San Francisco, has found that the symptoms indicate a robust immune response that is likely to lessen the chances of infection.
The study, which was recently published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine , is based on symptom reports and antibody responses from 363 people, who had the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines when they were first introduced. After the second dose of the vaccine, the researchers found that those with seven or mo.
