“The AstraZeneca vaccine has already saved thousands of lives in the UK and around the world. Many people in Northern Ireland are alive and well today because of it. The fact that we are now emerging from lockdown is thanks, in no small measure, to the availability of Astra Zeneca and Pfizer vaccines.”
“The balance of benefits and risks with Astra Zeneca is very favourable for older people but is more finely balanced for younger people. The Covid-19 risk to younger people has now decreased significantly, with rates of infection having decreased in Northern Ireland.” According to the UK government report, 54,139 Yellow Cards have been reported for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, up to April 28th.
For all Covid-19 vaccines, the “overwhelming majority” of reports relate to the likes of sore arms from injections, generalised symptoms such as flu-like illness, headache, chills, tiredness, nausea, fever, dizziness, weakness, aching muscles, and rapid heartbeat.
