Time off work common after AstraZeneca vax: Aus data

But the good news is the vaccine offers some protection against the UK variant

More than one quarter of Australians who received AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine have taken time off work or study because of side effects, surveillance data show.

Overall, two thirds of people responding to an invitation to report adverse events say they experienced at least one reaction — most commonly fatigue, headaches or body aches.
