Abstract

COVID-19 is a disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that has spread into an worldwide pandemic. Quick efforts into developing vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 took place, using both existing technologies or ones newly released to the public. Side effects observed upon administration of previous vaccines or the unknown associated with new vaccines have caused concern in large cohorts of population regarding their safety. In this paper, we look with detail into the ingredients of existing COVID-19 vaccines and their side effects, hoping to clear any concerns and claims that rose out of proportion. To obtain the presented data, we searched and analyzed online reports and databases from vaccine developers and clinicians alike, as well as research articles that covered the potential side effects of specific vaccine ingredients. Our research indicates that existing vaccines against COVID-19 are safe for most of the population, with very small percentages of severe side effects associated with it. The side effects of the vaccines largely outweigh the potential complications arising from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Long term clinical trials for safety and efficacy are currently underway to monitor any potential long term side effects.
