In order to contain the explosive corona situation, the vaccine from Biontech has already been approved.
The manufacturer is now informing about possible side effects.
The European Commission has
approved and recommended
the
vaccine
from
Biontech
.
Vaccinations against
Corona * have been
in Germany since December 27, 2020
.
The manufacturer
Biontech is
now clarifying about possible
side effects
.
Kassel - Since December 27,
vaccination
against the
coronavirus has been carried out
across Germany with the approved vaccine from the Mainz company
Biontech
.
Meanwhile, more and more people are wondering whether and what possible
side effects
can occur
after the
corona vaccination
- the manufacturer is now clarifying.
The
corona vaccine
should be administered
twice within three weeks
and the effect can be demonstrated as early as 28 days after the first dose.
As a rule, however, it takes several years or even decades to develop an effective vaccine - in order to get the rapidly spreading
corona virus
under control worldwide, the vaccine from Biontech has already been approved.
Corona vaccine: rapid approval of the vaccine unsettles people
Since this rapid approval raises doubts in some people, the manufacturer is now informing about possible
side effects
that have already become clear in the course of a vaccination study.
Corona vaccine from Biontech: These side effects are possible
As reported
by echo24.de
, the
participants in the study
tolerated the
corona vaccine
well,
according to Biontech
.
As the company reports in a press release, no serious side effects * were found - only in a few cases did third-degree secondary symptoms occur.
Accordingly, 3.8 percent of the test subjects felt
exhaustion and tiredness
, two percent got a
headache
.
Furthermore, it could be seen that, especially in older subjects, fewer side effects occurred, which were also less pronounced.
As
welt.de
reports, some of the test subjects also complained of
fever, chills, diarrhea
or
muscle and limb pain
.
However, these accompanying symptoms appeared rather weak to moderate and subsided after a short time.
People with allergies are advised, however, to find out more before vaccination * in order
to clarify
potential
allergic reactions
.

Fight against corona: Biontech vaccine continues to be monitored even after approval
But can
long-term side effects also
occur?
So far, no clear answer can be given to this question, as it could not be researched in the short time.
In order to be able to rule out long-term side effects, the
vaccine
would have to be
tested over several years - since the
coronavirus
is highly contagious and also spreads very quickly, extensive tests were therefore not yet possible.
