Experts also, however, noted that the comparatively quick production of the COVID-19 vaccine should not suggest that protection precautions have been undermined. Perhaps, precise details on vaccinations is critical – such as how the jabs work to protect your body, safety, and side effects, etc.
The US CDC stated that regular protocols and procedures need to be in effect to ensure the safety of any vaccine permitted or authorized for use, even as more COVID-19 vaccines have been produced as soon as possible. Earlier this week, Dr VK Paul, Member (Health), NITI Aayog, said at a press conference that Covishield from the Serum Institute and Covaxin from Bharat Biotech are the best.

Possible side effects of getting a COVID-19 vaccine
Typically all vaccines come with some side effects as the immune system responds to it.
“As of now, the reported side effects that have occurred from the COVID-19 vaccine are soreness, mild pain or mild swelling at the site of injection which are usually very common after any vaccination. Other side effects could vary from person to person and may include headache, fatigue, muscle pain, mild fever, etc. In the rare case that there is a serious reaction, the person must speak to their doctor as there is a small chance that they might have an allergic reaction. Ideally, vaccination can be taken before the weekend or before a holiday so that there is not too much work to deal with and the person can relax,” said Dr SN Aravinda, Consultant, Internal Medicine, Aster RV Hospital, Bangalore.
