safety / benefits about vaccinations
- BENEFITS: Vaccination lowers the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death from influenza and COVID-19.
- COMMON SIDE EFFECTS: Usually mild and short-lived, most commonly soreness / redness / swelling at the injection site, sometimes fatigue / fever for a day or two.
- SERIOUS REACTIONS: Severe allergic reactions are uncommon. Staf are trained to respond, which is why observation is highly recommended afterwards.
