Yes, both fever and headache are documented side-effects of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. While headache is a common side-effect, fever is an infrequent side-effect of the vaccine.

These are known side effects and usually subside in a day or so. You may take paracetamol, no more than 4 gm in one day, no alcohol, for the pain and fever. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
