America’s self-reporting database for vaccine side effects has produced a glut of data on what you can expect getting your third jab this winter. More than 90 percent of the participants in the V-safe database said they were able to work after a booster shot. People who did report side effects tended to be older, with 46 percent over 65. Younger people did still report side effects in both this trial and other databases.
Serious side effects were incredibly rare, across the booster jab campaign.
The Moderna vaccine, of which ten million booster jabs have been given, saw serious side effects reported in only 14 of every million.
The Pfizer vaccine saw a greater number of serious reports, at 29 in every million.
The total number of serious incidents in the VAERS database is 614.

Serious adverse effects include laboured breathing, chest pain, severe fever or fatigue and in very rare cases death.

The 82 cases of death following booster shots were analysed and found to not be caused by the vaccine.
A research group cited by the CDC said: “We estimated that we would expect 236.5 coincident all cause deaths in 10,000,000 vaccinated people within one day of vaccination.”
Examination of death certificates submitted alongside the reports shows that many had existing unrelated conditions, such as heart failure or cancer.
If you have suffered side effects as the result of a Coronavirus medicine or vaccine you can report these side effects to the government at the dedicated yellow card reporting site.
This site also handles reports of fake and counterfeit treatments.
You can file a report for treatment you have received or on behalf of someone else.
The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory said: “By reporting suspected side effects, we can make vaccines better for everyone.”
