Coronavirus: COVID vaccine side-effects that need immediate attention

With new emerging variants and the possibility of a third COVID wave, vaccination has become the need of the hour.

Vaccine side effects are common, but harmless.

Having side effects does not mean that you're developing an infection. Instead it indicates that your body's immune system has started to produce antibodies to fight the virus. These side effects are manageable and are most often not a matter of concern.

Uncommon post-vaccination symptoms that demand immediate attention.

There are a list of symptoms that may be experienced by people after their vaccination, which may be alarming and may call for immediate medical attention. Some of them are : 

• Shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing
• Chest pain
• Nausea, vomiting or constant pain in the abdominal area
• Seizures
• Pain in limbs or swelling in arms or feet
• Blurred vision
• Severe or persistent headache
• Weakness in any part of the body
• Scars at the site of injection

If you experience these symptoms post-vaccination you need to consult a doctor. Book an online consultation at a time of your convenience on Qural: https://qural.app/general-tele-consultation/
