Vaccinations have been used successfully in medicine for a long time. When unwanted side effects occur, experience has shown that they usually become apparent a few days or weeks after vaccination. Up to now, no vaccination has been found to have side effects that only appear months or years later on. Such long-term consequences are not to be expected after a COVID-19 vaccination either.

Further information about the side effects of coronavirus vaccinations is available on the Federal Health Ministry’s websites Zusammen gegen Corona and gesund.bund.de, on the BzGA (Federal Centre for Health Education) website infektionsschutz.de and from the Paul Ehrlich Institute.
