Female sex (OR = 1.77; 95%CI = 1.01-3.12), previous COVID-19 infection (OR = 3.62; 95%CI = 1.13-11.63) and adverse events after the second dose (OR = 2.66; 95%CI = 1.33-5.32) were independently associated with intense systemic adverse events 7 days after. Booster dose significantly increased antibodies titers, especially 28 days after heterologous regimen, without a significant increase in reactogenicity.

Although EN in our case might be idiopathic, clinicians should be aware that COVID-19 vaccines could be a cause of EN.

Despite the higher prevalence of post-vaccination side effects among adenoviral vector vaccines recipients, both vaccines groups were equally effective in preventing symptomatic infections, and no life-threatening side effects were reported in either vaccine group.

Journal: Post-vaccination outcomes in association with four COVID-19 vaccines in the Kingdom of Bahrain. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 8, 2022 We find no evidence of biased selection for any vaccine, but note waning protection of the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine during the January to June 2021 period in the age > 60 y cohort; however, this cannot be distinguished from the overall fall in hospitalisations overall. Our findings support the value of vaccination in preventing COVID-19 related outcomes, provide real world estimates on the outcomes and frequencies of post-vaccination infections for the four vaccines, which may inform vaccine selection in the context of the Delta variant across the globe.
