across theworld since the beginning of the outbreak. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has allowed emergency use

lot of adverse drug reactions observed during the vaccination campaign, the most common side effects are tenderness,
pain and bruising at the injection site, headache, tiredness, muscle pain, general feeling of being unwell, chills, fever, joint
