Symptoms reminiscent of a severe hangover, such as severe headache, fever and muscle aches, describe the side effects of the long-awaited Pfizer vaccine.
The above symptoms sometimes appear after the flu vaccine is given. More than 43,500 people in six countries participated in the phase 3 trials of the Pfizer vaccine, and more than a second group of volunteers is expected.
It is noted that the vaccine was administered in two doses, while the volunteers do not know whether they received the regular vaccine or not.
Like a hangover
According to the Daily Mail, a 45-year-old volunteer said her first dose caused side effects similar to those of the flu shot, but that they escalated after the second dose.
Another volunteer, Glenn Diesilds, 44, said the Pfizer vaccine made him feel like a “strong hangover,” but the symptoms quickly disappeared. However, he said he was excited about the pharmaceutical giant’s announcements.
The Texas lobbyist said he was sure he received the actual vaccine, not the placebo, as he tested for antibodies and came back positive.
Another volunteer, however, Brian, 42, from Georgia, is sure he received the placebo vaccine, after contracting a coronavirus a month ago.
Carrie, a Missouri woman, said she took the first dose in September and the second last month. He reported suffering from a headache, fever and pain throughout his body. But at the second dose these side effects intensified.
She said she volunteered because she felt it was her duty as a citizen, and Pfizer’s announcement yesterday made her proud. He also explained that he saw so many people around the world suffer and that is why he made the decision. “The deciding factor for me is not losing other lives and getting our lives back,” he said.
The CBS reporter who volunteered for the vaccine
Also of interest is the case of CBS journalist Andrea Lucia, who also volunteered for the vaccine.
As she said, the process was very easy: they injected the vaccine into her arm and it did not kill at all.
He did not know if he received the regular or placebo vaccine, but explained that the preparation for all the volunteers was the same: they had to give blood, urine, medical history, as well as weigh and take thermometers before taking their first dose.
The Pfizer vaccine must be stored at -70 ° C, which makes it contraindicated in pharmacies. It will be transported in special refrigerated trucks and in special suitcases that will be filled with dry ice to preserve its efficiency.
