Are you considering getting a booster shot? If so, it’s essential to know the potential side effects. Moderna vaccines are among the most popular boosters but can also cause unpleasant side effects. In this blog post by Zorayr Manukyan, Chief Scientific Officer at Clinstatdevice we’ll take a closer look at what to expect from a Moderna booster shot and how to deal with any adverse reactions.
Zorayr Manukyan’s Guide to the Side Effects of Moderna’s Booster Shot
Pain in the Injection Site
Moderna’s booster shot is becoming increasingly popular as more people seek to protect themselves from the dangers of contracting COVID-19.
However, some people who have received the Moderna booster shot have reported experiencing pain and swelling at the injection site. While this is a common side effect of many vaccinations, Moderna’s booster shot seems to likely cause these symptoms.
In most cases, the pain and swelling will resolve within a few days. However, you should contact your doctor if you experience severe pain or swelling.
According to Zorayr Manukyan’s research, Moderna’s booster shot is safe, and most people who receive it will not experience any severe side effects.
Headache
Moderna’s booster vaccine for COVID-19 may cause headaches in some people, according to a new study.
The study, which is still ongoing, has found that about one in four people who received the Moderna vaccine developed a headache after their second dose.
The study’s lead author says that the headaches are likely due to the body’s immune response to the vaccine, and they typically go away within a day or two.
According to Zorayr Manukyan, Moderna is investigating whether these headaches are a side effect of the vaccine. Furthermore, the company says that it will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Joint Pain
According to a new study, 22% of people who received Moderna’s booster dose reported experiencing severe joint pain within two days of getting the vaccine.
Moderna is now investigating the cause of the side effect and whether it is linked to the vaccine. In the meantime, doctors are advising people with a history of joint problems to be aware of the potential for increased pain after receiving Moderna’s booster dose.
Moderna is also working on a third vaccine that does not appear to cause joint pain.
Nausea
Moderna’s booster shot may cause nausea in some people, according to a new study. The study, set to be published in JAMA, found that the Moderna recipients reported adverse effects after their second dose.
Nearly 11% said they experienced nausea. Moderna’s CEO has said that the company is working on a fix for the issue. Nausea is a common side effect of many vaccines and usually goes away on its own within a day or two.
If you experience nausea after getting a Moderna booster, experts say it’s best to drink plenty of fluids and eat small meals throughout the day. You can also take over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen to help relieve any discomfort.
