Any adverse reactions to the anti-Covid vaccine can be reported to the family doctor, the vaccination center, the trusted pharmacist or local health authority, as well as directly on the Vigifarmaco website of the Italian Medicines Agency (Aifa).

The same agency specifies this in the Faq on 'Pharmacovigilance on Covid-19 vaccines' just updated on its website.

Among the vaccine side effects most often observed so far are local reactions at the injection site, fatigue, headache and muscle or joint pain, together with fever, nausea or more rarely swelling of the lymph nodes.


    Regarding the report, Aifa reminds that "it can also be made directly by anyone who observes or becomes aware of it, be it a health worker or citizen, by filling out the form available on the Aifa portal and sending it to the local pharmacovigilance manager of their facility of belonging ".

Furthermore, it is possible to report directly online through the VigiFarmaco website by following the guided procedure.
