Vaccines are engineered to allow the body to build immunity against diseases by targeting viruses and producing antibodies to combat them.
Although a vaccine contains some parts of the virus it is battling, it can’t cause the illness. Therefore no COVID-19 vaccine can cause COVID.
It is natural for the body to experience some minor side effects as it builds immunity after the use of the vaccine.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center For Disease Control (CDC), these are the common COVID vaccine side effects.
