The vaccine you're likely to get in Ireland based on age and its side-effects

Ireland's vaccine watchdog recommended yesterday that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine should be used for those aged 50 and older.

Pfizer/BioNTech The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, as with all the Covid-19 inoculations approved in Ireland, is safe and effective.When it comes to immunity, it takes 7 days after the second dose for the Pfizer vaccine to work.Because of the rare side effects associated with the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson jabs, the use of the Pfizer injection was extended beyond its initial use among over-70s only.

However, people under 60 are also likely to receive this vaccine amid blood clot concerns with the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson jabs.Rare side effects, which more than 1 in 10,000 people may develop include: Two doses are required, with the waiting period for a second dose stretching from 12 weeks to 16 weeks.

The common side effects after the AstraZeneca vaccine are more likely after the first dose of the vaccine.Rare side effects, which more than 1 in 1,000 people may experience, include:However, the risk of this rare side effect is very low for over 60s and you are 85 times more at risk of dying from Covid-19 than getting very rare serious blood clots after the vaccine.

Additionally, the vaccine can also be used for younger people if no other vaccine option is available.
