"Common local adverse reactions are swelling and pain at the inoculation site. Common general systemic adverse reactions are a low-grade fever, not exceeding 38.5 C, as well as fatigue and weakness. These do not require special treatment," said Ding. "However, if people experience obvious discomfort after vaccination, it is recommended that they visit a general hospital to be checked."
