What are the side effects of the Novavax vaccine?
The Novavax vaccine is a new vaccine developed to protect against the COVID-19 virus. It has been approved for use in many countries, but there are some potential side effects that may occur after receiving the vaccine.
Most of the side effects associated with the Novavax vaccine are mild and may include pain at the injection site, headaches, muscle aches, tiredness, nausea, and dizziness. These side effects usually go away within a few days and are not cause for concern. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) have been reported. People who experience any of these side effects should seek medical attention immediately.
It is also important to note that the Novavax vaccine may not provide complete protection against the COVID-19 virus. People who have received the vaccine may still need to take other precautions, such as wearing a mask and social distancing, to protect themselves and others. It is important to speak to a healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns about the vaccine.
