Vaccine 2023 41 (17) 2853-2859 INTRODUCTION: The ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (ChAd), mRNA-1273 (m1273), MVC-COV1901 (MVC), and BNT162b2 (BNT) COVID-19 vaccines received authorization for emergency use in Taiwan beginning in February 2021. We investigated acute reactions to homologous primary COVID-19 vaccination series in adults aged ≥ 18 years. METHODS: In this prospective observational study based on smartphone data (Taiwan V-Watch), we calculated the frequencies of self-reported local and systemic acute reactions within 7 days of a COVID-19 vaccination, and the health effects up to 3 weeks after each dose. Those who reported adverse reactions after both doses were assessed by the McNemar test. RESULTS: During 22 March 2021-13 December 2021, 77,468 adults were enrolled; 59.0 % were female and 77.8 % were aged 18-49 years. For both doses of all four vaccines, the local and systemic reactions were minor in severity and highest on days 1 and 2 after vaccination, and declined markedly until day 7. For 65,367 participants who provided data after the first and second doses, systemic reactions were more frequent after dose 2 of the BNT and m1273 vaccines (McNemar tests: both p < 0.001), while local reactions were more frequent after dose 2 of the m1273 and MVC vaccines (both p < 0.001), compared with dose 1 of the homologous vaccine. Among the participants aged 18-49 years, the percentage who missed work on the day after vaccination was slightly higher among women (9.3 %) than among men (7.0 %). CONCLUSIONS: Acute reactogenicity and impact of work absenteeism for the four COVID vaccines in the V-Watch survey were mild and of short duration. |
