COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Events

The adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines are broader and more numerous than for other vaccines, historically.

COVID-19 Vaccine Associated Cardiac Injuries

Myocarditis

Myopericarditis

See also: CoVid-19 Vaccine Associated Myopericarditis

Myopericarditis is characterized as inflammation of the pericardium, the membrane surrounding the hear, with involvement of the myocardium. Symptoms include chest pain, fever, and shortness of breath, and are similar to pericarditis. Involvement of the myocardium is diagnosed though testing for elevated troponin through cardiac imaging.

COVID-19 Vaccine Associated Blood and Vascular Disorders

Thrombosis

See also: Covid-19 Vaccine Associated Thrombosis

There are three categories of causes of thrombosis: damage to the blood vessel (catheter or surgery), slowed blood flow (immobility), and/or thrombophilia (if the blood itself is more likely to clot).

Thrombocytopenia

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis

See also: Covid-19 Vaccine Associated Cerebral Venous Thrombosis

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis is a type of stroke in which the venous channels of the brain become thrombosed, resulting in cerebral infarction in the areas corresponding to the thrombosis.

Hemorrhage (cerebral, lobar, acral and retinal)

Stroke

Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Vasculitis, including Microscopic Polyangiitis

See also: Covid-19 Vaccine Associated Vasculitis

Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels that causes changes in the blood vessel walls. When your blood vessel becomes weak, it might stretch and bulge (called an aneurysm). It might also burst open, causing bleeding. This can be life-threatening.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a a rare type of vasculitis, causing inflammation of the small blood vessels. The disease can damage the blood vessels, nervous system and organs. The FIVE most common clinical manifestations of MPA are: kidney inflammation, weight loss, skin lesions, nerve damage, and fevers.

COVID-19 Vaccine Associated Neurological Disorders

Guillain-Barré Syndrome

See also: CoVid-19 Vaccine Associated Guillain-Barré

Guillain-Barré is a neurological disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks part of its peripheral nervous system—the network of nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord. GBS can range from a very mild case with brief weakness to nearly devastating paralysis, leaving the person unable to breathe independently. Fortunately, most people eventually recover from even the most severe cases of GBS. After recovery, some people will continue to have some degree of weakness.

Bell’s Palsy, Facial Paralysis & Facial Palsy

Myelitis, including Transverse Myelitis

Generalized Neurological Complications

COVID-19 Vaccine Associated Disorders of the Immune System

Anaphylaxis

See also: Covid-19 Vaccine Associated Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a severe life-threatening allergic reaction, resulting from the immune system's response to a substance.

Allergic Reactions (other than and including Anaphylaxis)

Covid-19 Vaccine Associated Allergic Reactions

While anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction, other allergies can result from or be exasperated by vaccination.

Lymphadenopathy

See also: CoVid-19 Vaccine Associated Lymphadenopathy

Lymphadenopathy is swelling of the lymph nodes. These swollen nodes can feel like hard nodules that are sometimes painful and are found in the underarm, groin, neck, chest, and abdomen. The lymph nodes filter lymph fluid as it circulates through the body.

Axillary Adenopathy

Axillary adenopathy is a lymphadenopathy of the axilla, or underarm.

COVID-19 Vaccine Associated Previously Rare Diseases

Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) has been associated with CoVid Vaccination. EGPA (formerly Churg-Strauss Syndrome) is an extremely rare disease caused by inflammation of blood and/or tissue cells, which previously was known to effect only two to five new people a year per one million people. Candy Palater, star of Trailer Park Boys, died after being hospitalized and diagnosed with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
