Medical experts say vaccine side effects are common. They actually indicate that the vaccines are working properly. Many doctors advise people to be prepared for some of the more severe-than-usual side effects from COVID-19 vaccinations, especially after the second dose.

Both Pfizer and Moderna have acknowledged that their vaccines can cause side effects similar to those associated with mild COVID-19, such as muscle pain, chills and headache. While the side effects can be unpleasant, doctors say the vaccines are safe.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you talk to your doctor about taking over-the-counter medications if a patient develops pain or discomfort after vaccination.
