According to the CDC and Johns Hopkins, symptoms are usually mild and last 24-48 hours, or no more than a few days. This may be the case for the majority, however, a quick search in the VAERS database shows reported incidences of severe and serious adverse events including myocarditis, seizures, stroke, auto-immune disease, clotting, venous thromboembolism, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, anaphylaxis, Kawasaki disease, Bells-palsy, tremors, paralysis, death and more.
Unfortunately, these adverse events are estimated to be grossly underreported. According to a Harvard publication, less than 1% of all vaccine injuries are being reported to VAERS. The article states lack of clinical awareness, an “uncertainty about when and what to report”, and the burden of reporting as reasons.
Even so, as of December 25, 2021, VAERS has logged an astounding 983,758 COVID related adverse events. Of these adverse events, 108,572 hospital visits were reported, 34,615 Permanent disabilities, and 20,622 deaths. In addition, there have been 747 reports of birth defects after vaccination.
On Jan 7, 2022 as cited in FDA document: “Side effects that have been reported during post-authorization use of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine include: • Severe allergic reactions • Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) • Pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) • Fainting in association with injection of the vaccine These may not be all the possible side effects of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. Read more on the VAERS site or here.
Following is list of ingredients as listed on the CDC’s website.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine includes the following ingredients: mRNA, lipids ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate), 2 [(polyethylene glycol)-2000]-N, N-ditetradecylacetamide, 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine, and cholesterol), potassium chloride, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate, and sucrose.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)
Lipids (fats)
Salts and sugar
The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine contains the following ingredients: messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), lipids (SM-102, polyethylene glycol [PEG] 2000 dimyristoyl glycerol [DMG], cholesterol, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC]), tromethamine, tromethamine hydrochloride, acetic acid, sodium acetate, and sucrose.
The Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) COVID-19 Vaccine includes the following ingredients: recombinant, replication-incompetent adenovirus type 26 expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, citric acid monohydrate, trisodium citrate dihydrate, ethanol, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HBCD), polysorbate-80, sodium chloride.
Each of the three vaccines granted approval under the Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA in the US have different adjuvants and ingredients, and any of them could be responsible for an adverse event.
Polyethylene glycol, or PEG, is a common plastic ingredient found in a variety of consumer goods, and which people are allergic to. Read more here.
All of the vaccines contain mechanisms to induce an immune response to spike proteins. The spike protein is responsible for many of the COVID-19 related heart and vascular problems, and it may have a similar effect when produced by your own cells from the mRNA vaccines. The spike protein could be triggering the blood clots, myocarditis and pericarditis, strokes, heart attacks and neurological damage, or even death.
Some studies are being done on the adverse events of the vaccine, in particular how it has been linked to myocarditis. One disturbing finding is that children aged 12 to 17 were 6 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID jab- induced myocarditis than they are to be hospitalized for COVID-19 infection.

According to the CDC, common side effects include:

If any of the common side effects do not go away after a few days, you should call your doctor or seek medical attention.
According to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, millions of adverse effects have been recorded, including death, paralysis, blood clots, strokes, myocarditis, pericarditis, heart attacks, spontaneous miscarriage, chronic fatigue and extreme depression. Here is a list of other adverse events experienced after receiving a covid vaccine or booster:
