- Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines have not been found to cause dangerous side effects.
- Dr. Fauci is scheduled to receive his second dose of coronavirus vaccine in two weeks and said the only side effect he worries about is a sore arm.
- After his first dose, Fauci said the side effects he experienced were not “at all serious.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, along with about 2 million Americans, received the coronavirus vaccine last week. And, like most people who received the vaccine, Fauci said the only side effect he experienced was a sore arm.
“The only thing I had was maybe six to ten hours after the vaccine, I felt a little pain in my arm that lasted maybe 24 hours,” Fauci said before pointing out that it didn’t last long. Beyond that, Fauci said he did not experience any other “kind of detrimental effect.”

Fauci’s experience with the vaccine is not uncommon and that is precisely why there is so much optimism around Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines. Recall that none of the vaccines were shown to cause serious side effects during clinical trials. In addition, in cases where volunteers reported adverse symptoms, such as headache or muscle aches, the symptoms usually disappeared within 24 hours.
The timing for the coronavirus vaccine requires the administration of two doses three weeks apart, and with Fauci’s second dose now just two weeks away, the face of the White House coronavirus working group is not he worries about nothing but the potential for more pain in his arm.
“Maybe when I have the impetus maybe I feel a little sore,” Fauci said during an interview with CNN earlier this week.
Although there have been reports of vaccine recipients experiencing severe allergic reactions, early indications suggest that these people often have a history of allergies.
For example, said Dr. Hossein Sadrzadeh, who has a severe allergy to seafood The New York Times that blood pressure rose and that he went into anaphylactic shock after receiving the vaccine. Before going to the emergency room, Sadrzadeh used an EpiPen.
Sadrzadeh was discharged quickly and is reportedly in perfect condition.
The times add:
After the first cases that accompanied Pfizer shots, the CDC advised that Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may not be appropriate for people with a history of anaphylaxis for the ingredients of any injection. Anaphylaxis, which usually occurs a few minutes after exposure to a trigger, can affect breathing and cause hasty drops in blood pressure, which can be life-threatening.
Despite this, the CDC still advises people with less severe allergies to be vaccinated. The only rating is that they are encouraged to wait 15 minutes after the injection just to make sure everything is fine.
Needless to say, the lack of serious side effects is not the only reason Pfizer and Moderna vaccines can defeat the coronavirus. Equally important is that both vaccines were found to be approximately 95% effective in preventing someone from going down with the coronavirus, an impressive figure that even surprised many researchers.
Finally, it is worth noting that developing an effective coronavirus vaccine is only half the battle. The other battle is to convince most Americans to take it, which must happen to get the herd immunity and prevent future outbreaks. If all goes according to plan, Fauci believes we could participate in normal daily activities in June 2021.
