There are some short term side effects to be aware of: The main risks of getting vaccinated are short term side effects, which may include soreness of the arm, low-grade fevers, muscle aches, and fatigue. These side effects can last 1 to 3 days, and get better without treatment. The incidence of these minor side effects appears to be greater after the second shot. Very rarely, an immediate allergic reaction may occur, so it is recommended that the vaccine be administered in a healthcare setting that can treat such reactions. People who have a history of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) should be monitored more closely when they receive the vaccine.
