Adverse sounds serious, but really:
About 105 vaccine recipients reported at least one AEFI symptoms following COVID-19 vaccination (incidence proportion 6.4%, 95% CI: 5.3%, 7.7%). All AEFI reported were minor which were managed by tablet paracetamol and subsided after 1–2 days. Fever (65, 3.98%) was the most commonly reported AEFI followed by myalgia (54, 3.30%) (Fig. 1). About 48 (2.94%) study participants reported 2 or more AEFI, most common being fever with myalgia (19, 1.16%) and fever with headache (18, 1.10%). No severe or serious AEFI was reported among vaccine recipients.
- saurik 5y agoI think adverse just means "not good" as one could also see neutral or even positive effects; one would say severe or serious (as in the text you quoted) as strength modifiers if applicable, but the word "adverse" shouldn't inherently make something sound strong or ever feel synonymous with "serious".
