People who have already had COVID are three times more likely to have side effects if they go ahead and get the vaccine, particularly if it’s the one made by Pfizer, researchers at King’s College say.
They gleaned the information from the college’s ZOE app, which has logged more than 700,000 vaccinations, which showed that 35.7% of vaccinated individuals who were previously infected reported side effects. Only 12.2% of those not infected reported side effects. With the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, 52.7% of previously infected had side effects, compared to 31.9% of those who had not been infected.
“The King's research showed that women were twice as likely as men to suffer side effects from the Pfizer jab and around 50 per cent more likely from the AstraZeneca vaccine,” The Telegraph added.
