The side effects of a very few individuals in getting the coronavirus vaccine may actually be a good sign.
Some people who received the Modena vaccine responded that the injection arm had redness and swollenness, nicknamed "Covid Arm". People with Covid Arm feel that the injection arm had a rash, itchy and swollenness.
However, these redness or rashes are the harmless response of the immune system to the vaccine and gradually disappear within a week.
Let's listen to what infectious disease experts say:
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, a professor of medicine and infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francisco, said that this reaction shows that your body, in order to deal with possible infections, is gradually becoming stronger.
Peter said that these reactions should not only cause concern, but should also be "celebrated".
He said: "The first reason to celebrate is that your reaction means that the immune system is functioning properly and is ready to protect yourself."
"The second reason to celebrate is that this reaction disappears quickly, not a continuous reaction."
The formal term used by dermatology and allergies physicians to give is "late-onset skin hypersensitivity reaction."
Hypersensitivity is an adverse reaction that the immune system produces and delays, as it usually occurs a few days after the injection. The manifestations are rashes, redness and swelling of the skin, sometimes painful to the touch, and always appear on the vaccinated arms.
The same happens in people who are vaccinated with tetanus vaccine, chickenpox vaccine and mumps vaccine (MMR, measles , mumps , rubella )
However, only currently, there are currently only receiving the Moderna (Moderna's COIVD-19) vaccine, and no clinical cases have been reported for other vaccines.
Peter told reporters that the immune system can be compared to a military training camp to understand this side effect.
Training warriors is a gradual process. The antibodies that just started to produce, like the new warrior, "
" then they were trained, during the training process, they performed differently, maybe very excited, or maybe anxious or angry, because they trained hard and then they would get very good. ”
If the feeling that the fighter is "angry", the COVID arm will appear, but it will eventually disappear on its own.
Peter said that if you are really infected with the coronavirus, the immune system will also adjust to its best state.
He said: "So, when the second season of the vaccine is received, the immune system will prepare you for infection and be ready to go."
But if you are not infected with COVID, they are back to the base. "
If you get vaccinated, there is no such reaction, and there is no need to worry, because in clinical trials, half of the participants have no side effects, no reaction, and the immune system can also work properly.
