BACKGROUNDS: The development of several types of vaccines to avert COVID-19 has taken place. Despite several reports of undesirable reactions noted post-COVID-19 vaccine administration, later remains one of the best prevention and management tools in fighting the spread of the virus and its variants and reducing the harshness of this viral attack. The purpose of the current paper was to explore the side-effects experienced by the females in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia directly after receiving the booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech/BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine. METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional study among adults living in the East-ern Province, Saudi Arabia was applied. A survey link was, distributed through WhatsApp, SMS, or e-mail to community members. Respondent's demographic information was acquired, as well as information about any local and systemic side-effects reported following booster dose of BioNTech/BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine. RESULTS: A total of 72.36% (432/597) of the respondents who participated in this study reported at least one side-effect. Pain and redness at the injection site (75.93%), myalgia (71.99%), headache (53.24%), fever (33.56%), and fatigue (43.78%) were the highest frequently stated side-effects. Furthermore, 9.25% of the respondents had to see a physician due to side effects, plus merely four participants were admitted to the hospital. The respondents working in the non-healthcare-related sector had a 1.677-fold more possibility of side effects in comparison with the other respondents (adjusted odds ratio = 1.677; 95% CI = 1.363, 2.064). CONCLUSIONS: All reported side-effects were mild to moderate. These findings might persuade pessimists and refusers to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Myalgia and pain or redness at the site of injection were the most common reported side-effects in our study.
背景:已经开发出多种类型的疫苗来预防 COVID-19。尽管有报道称接种 COVID-19 疫苗后出现了一些不良反应,但疫苗仍然是控制病毒及其变体传播、降低这种病毒攻击严重程度的最佳预防和管理工具之一。本文旨在探讨沙特阿拉伯东部省份女性在接种辉瑞-生物科技/BNT162b2 COVID-19 疫苗加强针后直接出现的副作用。
方法:本研究采用沙特阿拉伯东部省份成年人的描述性横断面研究。通过 WhatsApp、SMS 或电子邮件向社区成员发送调查链接。获取了受访者的人口统计学信息,以及接种 BioNTech/BNT162b2 COVID-19 疫苗加强针后报告的任何局部和全身副作用的信息。
结果:共有 72.36%(432/597)的受访者报告至少有一种副作用。注射部位疼痛和发红(75.93%)、肌肉痛(71.99%)、头痛(53.24%)、发热(33.56%)和疲劳(43.78%)是最常报告的副作用。此外,9.25%的受访者因副作用需要看医生,只有 4 名参与者住院。与其他受访者相比,从事非医疗相关行业的受访者出现副作用的可能性高 1.677 倍(调整后的优势比=1.677;95%置信区间=1.363,2.064)。
结论:所有报告的副作用均为轻度至中度。这些发现可能会说服悲观主义者和拒绝者接种 COVID-19 疫苗。肌肉痛和注射部位疼痛或发红是我们研究中最常见的报告副作用。
