As you may know, the COVID-19 vaccines and boosters were created within a year of COVID-19 being detected. This means that the safety and effectiveness aren’t fully established yet. Therefore, unless all adverse reactions are recorded, it will be difficult for authorities to assemble a thorough, real-world safety and effectiveness profile.
So it is important – even if you do not understand how it might relate to your vaccination or booster – that you record and report unwelcome changes in your health after taking any COVID-19 injection.
What do I report
Please record adverse reactions if you have experienced any new condition that appeared after the injection, regardless of what it could be attributed to such as:
- COVID-19
- heart and kidney conditions
- inflammatory conditions
- blood clots
- neurological complications (eg. Bell’s palsy, dizziness)
- heart attack or stroke
- skin rashes
- menstruation disturbance
- diabetes
- cancer and cysts
Report also:
- miscarriage and stillbirth
- a birth defect of a newborn, if parents were vaccinated before pregnancy, or mother while pregnant
- your existing condition, if your current illness has worsened after injection
- sudden death.
How to report
Please report your own adverse reactions – or help a loved one by reporting theirs for them – to The Health Products Regulatory Authority by:
What should I do after receiving COVID-19 vaccine
Regulary contact your GP and ask for health check. Majority of conditions caused by the vaccines are treatable, but some such as blood cloths can lead to the serious health damage or death if not diagnosed in time.
