Covid-19, Corona virus, Vaccination, VaccineAbstract
The COVID-19 disease arisen in Wuhan on December-2019 and was avowed as a contagion. Globally, at present, there have been 517,648,631 verified cases of COVID-19, including 6,261,708 deceased, reported to WHO. The scientific focus on vaccine development has become the ultimatum of the global community. Vaccination is the process of administering a vaccine to develop a defense mechanism against an infection with the help of hosts immune system. The types include protein subunit, RNA-based, non-replicating and replicating virus-like particle, viral vector, live-attenuated virus, replicating bacterial vector, inactivated virus. Though the vaccine has unparallel benefits it also has potential side effects such as thrombocytopenia, anaphylaxis, local side effects, neurological effects, orofacial effects, effects in cancer patients, effects on women due to estrogen, shingles and associated vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. Thus, it is of paramount importance to evaluate the vaccine safety, including the side effects. The objective of this article is to present an information of the adverse side effects of COVID-19 vaccination.
