Discomfort after vaccination is a symptom. via unsplash [National Cancer Institute]
Some other people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or vaccinated for years against the flu experience several days of discomfort after receiving the vaccine. These symptoms come with fever or subfebrile condition, muscle and joint pain, chills, diarrhea, or vomiting. Unpleasant symptoms can last from several hours to several days.
Its appearance discourages many other people from getting vaccinated because they worry that the discomfort is a destructive symptom. However, scientists have long suspected that these symptoms are simply a sign of a stronger immune formula reaction that produces a longer-lasting immunizing effect. Therefore, it deserves to be referred to as “desirable symptoms” rather than “side effects”.
Different countries are taking other approaches to publicize vaccination, Moldova now follows the path that failed in Poland.
Researchers at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, recently demonstrated this hypothesis. In an article published in the JAMA network, they point out a transparent correlation between short-term post-vaccination situations and vaccination effectiveness.
The researchers looked at an organization of another 928 people at Nashville University Hospital over a long period of time. All were vaccinated twice against COVID-19 with the Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines. The average age in this organization is 65.
The study showed that in patients who experienced fever or flu symptoms for some time after vaccination, immunity to COVID-19 lasted longer. Those patients’ bodies were controlled to produce more antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. stronger vaccination, hence the unsightly symptoms.
However, the exam has some limitations. It included Americans over the age of 40, not an organization that reflects a representative pattern of the entire population. In addition, participants came from a similar socioeconomic organization, which meant they could have similar lifestyles and similar physical conditions.
The study was based on a survey, in which respondents self-reported their post-vaccination symptoms to their doctor, which could influence the subjectivity of the results.
In Poland, a momentary COVID-19 booster vaccine can almost be obtained. The Ministry of Health is calling for vaccination, while reports show little interest.
However, the goal of the study is not to look at the precise functioning of the human immune system, National Infectious Disease Foundation medical director Professor William Schaffner told CNN.
“It’s more to reassure other people who have had a reaction that it’s their immune formula that responds pretty well to the vaccine, even though it has caused them some discomfort,” Schaffner said.
“Many other people have speculated over the years whether other people who had more reactions to the vaccine might have a more vigorous immune response,” he said. “And this knowledge turns out to corroborate that. “
He added that he understands that many other people felt uncomfortable after the vaccine, but their immune systems surely responded correctly.
Mass vaccination against monkeypox is not currently recommended, but as the situation evolves, the recommendation could change, says epidemiologist Iwona Paradowska-Stankiewicz.
The study authors also say that other people who have felt nothing more after vaccination than brief swelling and pain at the injection still have no reason to worry. The absence of symptoms does not mean that they have not acquired immunity.
The difference is that in other people who have had fever, chills, or muscle aches after inoculation, immunity will most likely persist a little longer. Research published on JAMA Network and other studies show that a marked buildup of immunity to COVID-19 occurs in nearly 95% of those who have won the vaccine.
This clearly means that the virus will enter a person’s body. Vaccination only trains the immune formula to fight infection, which leads to faster popularity of the virus and an immune reaction in case of infection.
As a result, many vaccinated people do not develop any symptoms of the disease and do not even know they have contracted the virus, while the vast majority of those who have certain symptoms do not want to be hospitalized because the disease is not a problem. . threat to their lives.
Several studies have also shown that other vaccinated people infect others at much lower rates than those who are unvaccinated.
