Worldwide, women are reporting worse side effects after COVID vaccinations than men. But the data is hard to find. Most studies ignore gender and sex.
Serious side effects for the COVID vaccines remain extremely rare.
Most people have mild reactions that disappear after a few days, such as low-grade fevers or muscle aches. Health experts say these are a sign of our bodies mounting an immune response and that that signals we will likely be protected by the vaccine against future infections.

Why vaccine side effects really happen, and when you should worry
Chills, headache, and fatigue after a shot are perfectly normal. But reactions can vary wildly, and they don’t reflect how your immune system would respond to a COVID-19 infection.

Side effects can be a powerful deterrent stopping people from getting vaccinated. To address this issue, in 1991, a group of scientists in Minnesota at the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Mayo Clinic devised an experiment to see just how frequent these unpleasant reactions were.
The study involved more than 300 veterans over the age of 65 who were given either a flu shot followed two weeks later by a placebo injection of salt water, or a placebo shot followed two weeks later by the real vaccine.
