Reported side effects to COVID-19 vaccines have mostly been mild to moderate and short-lasting. They

include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, chills, diarrhea, and pain at the injection site. The chances

of any of these side effects following vaccination differ according to the specific COVID-19 vaccine you’ve

taken.

It is important to keep record of the second dose appointment and adhere to attend, to ensure the

required level of immunity and the maximum benefit from the vaccine. It is recommended to take the

second dose in the same facility where the first dose was taken. The second dose of the vaccine should

be administered as close to the second dose schedule as possible. If for any reason there is an

unavoidable delay, contact us to reschedule the appointment.

The COVID-19 vaccine will reduce the chance of transmission and spread of COVID-19 infection to

others. However, you will still be at risk if you refrain from following the precautionary measures by

wearing a mask and keeping a safe distance between you and others.

You may call 024493333 (option number 3) to notify side effects (in Emirate of Abu Dhabi), or you can go

to the nearest healthcare facility if needed.

Yes, you may receive a Pfizer- BioNTech booster after 6 months from your Sinopharm COVID-19 Vaccine.

While some people don’t need a third dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, it is recommended for a certain

group of people who might not have developed a strong immunity against the disease. Therefore, a

booster dose in this case can be beneficial to provide a higher level of immunity.

Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Side effects for children ranging from the age of 12 to 15 years

old were like the ones which were found in other age groups, including pain at the injection site, fatigue,

headache, fever, chills, muscle pain, or joint pain. Like any other vaccine, side effects vary and can be

from mild to moderate.

You may take anti-fever or anti-inflammatory medications if necessary following Covid-19 vaccination.

However, its important to know that doing so could diminish the level of immunity that develops as the

symptoms you experience after your Covid-19 vaccination are normal side effects caused by your

immune system responding.

Many people will get the vaccine and not experience side effects. That does not mean that the vaccine

was not effective or didn’t work for them.

It’s advisable to stop taking your painkillers in advance as your initial immune response may become

lower overall.

Yes. It is okay to get the second dose in the other arm.

Both mRNA and DNA are located separately in the human body, and one does not interfere in the other

nor operate the same. Therefore, the vaccine does not affect a person’s DNA.

There is no evident based research on the longevity of the Covid-19 vaccine until this date.

It’s highly recommended to get the vaccine for people who have previously tested positive and

recovered. The vaccine was found to be safe on previously infected individuals and because we don’t

know how long antibodies will last after having the infection, a Covid-19 vaccine can be beneficial in

boosting a person’s existing immunity from infection.

Current variants circulating are being monitored for their ability to spread, cause more severe disease

and evade vaccines or/and treatments. To date, none of the variants have changed enough that they

require new vaccines.

People with immune-compromising conditions may get the Covid-19 vaccine as long as they don’t suffer

from severe allergy to vaccine components or have a history of severe allergy to any vaccine or injectable

medication. It’s highly advised to refer to your physician before booking a vaccine appointment.
