More than a third of people who receive their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine report some side effects, new data suggests.<\/p>\n

Most of the side effects were mild, and included pain or swelling around the site of the injection.<\/p>\n

The data suggests people who have previously had Covid-19 are almost twice as likely to experience one or more mild whole body (systemic) side effects, compared to those who have not had the virus (33% vs 19%) from a Pfizer\/BioNTech vaccine dose.<\/p>\n

According to the latest data from the Zoe Covid Symptom Study app, the most common mild whole body (systemic) side effects were fatigue (9%), headache (8%) and chills or shivers (4%).<\/p>\n

Most mild whole body (systemic) side effects appeared in the first two days after the vaccination and only 3% of people have any after effects beyond three days.<\/p>\n

The figures, based on a sub-sample of almost 40,000 vaccine doses, suggest that 37% of people experienced some local side effects after the first dose, and 45% after the second.<\/p>\n

While 14% of people reported at least one whole body side effect within seven days from the first dose compared to 22% from the second dose, possibly indicating a stronger immune response after the second dose.<\/p>\n

The data found that 13% of vaccinated men, and 19% of vaccinated women, reported at least one systemic side effect within seven days.<\/p>\n

Under 55s were more likely to experience whole body side effects than those over 55s (21% vs 14%).<\/p>\n

Covid-19 vaccines work by using a harmless version or component of the coronavirus to train the immune system, so when the virus is encountered the body is able to fight it off.<\/p>\n

This response can feel like some of the symptoms when the body is fighting off a real infection, including headaches, fever, chills or shivers, tiredness (fatigue), muscle or joint pains, diarrhoea and feeling sick (nausea).<\/p>\n

Experts say a stronger response may indicate evidence of an increased immune response.<\/p>\n

This current data is for the Pfizer\/BioNTech vaccine and most of those analysed were healthcare workers.<\/p>\n

Tim Spector, lead scientist on the study and professor of genetic epidemiology at King\u2019s College London, said: \u201cThis data set is a unique look at those who have been vaccinated in the real world outside trials, and so far the post-vaccine effects we see are mild and in the minority of people.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s interesting to see that those with previous Covid are more likely to experience these mild after effects than naive subjects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis could be good news, as a larger response like this suggests that those getting a first dose after having had Covid are generating a stronger immune reaction and may get greater protection from just a single shot of the vaccine.\u201d<\/p>\n
