Infectious Disease Expert Dr. Anthony Fauci revealed the only side effect that he experienced hours after getting the Moderna vaccine on Tuesday.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases took the Moderna vaccine publicly on Tuesday to “build confidence” over its safety as reports of allergic reactions triggered by the Covid vaccines continue to emerge.
“This is very typical of vaccinations. The same thing happened with other non-COVID vaccines that I’ve had over the years,” Fauci said.
“I felt a little bit achy, but nothing to be bothering or distracting me. Went to bad last night, had a good night’s sleep, woke up this morning. The only thing I have is just a little bit of soreness in the arm. Otherwise, I’m doing really well.”
Experts insisted that adverse reactions to Covid vaccines do not necessarily mean that they are not safe like people tend to believe.
“Covid-19 is yet another instance in which the risk of not being vaccinated is far greater than the risk of side effects posed by the vaccine itself,” Human Vaccines Project and Harvard Public Health doctors stated.
“Of the tens of thousands of people who have already been vaccinated, some have reported short-term symptoms like fever or aches, and a few have reported allergic reactions.”
