Side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines vary from person to person. They are typically mild and subside in a few days. Common side effects include soreness and swelling in the injection site, nausea, chills, fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, or fever.
The risk of a child having a serious adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is very low.
If you have questions about COVID-19 vaccines or how to protect your children from COVID-19, speak to your healthcare provider or pediatrician.
