Reported Adverse Events (Side Effects) Following COVID-19 Vaccination Among University Students and Staff: A Case of Islamic University in Uganda
The study confirms that COVID-19 vaccines are safe, as most of the reported side effects were minor with no life-threatening events. More sensitization of the community about the safety of vaccines is encouraged. Ongoing pharmacovigilance surveys for COVID-19 vaccines are recommended to detect possible long-term side effects.
