Post Covid-19 vaccination

Medbury Medicals

Post Covid-19 vaccination, individuals may experience some side effects. Most are mild and they usually resolve within a few days.

While some people experience no side effects, a small fraction of people – around one person in every one million people vaccinated— may have a severe allergic reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine.

The most common severe reactions post-vaccination are Immunization stress-related response and anaphylaxis.

Although immunization stress-related response looks a lot like anaphylaxis, it is not as life-threatening as the former. Anaphylaxis is severe and potentially life-threatening.

To manage such cases, WHO advises that all vaccination sites should have a medical doctor or clinical officer with the necessary kit to address such reactions or any other adverse event following vaccination.

Find below a video detailing the difference between Immunization stress-related response and anaphylaxis for your information.
