UNASSIGNED: The cross-sectional study involved Saudi participants of both genders, aged ≥16 years, and had received at least one dose of any of the available vaccines in Saudi Arabia. They were asked to fill out an online questionnaire divided into three sections: Demographics, medical history, and side effects that appeared post-COVID-19 vaccines.
UNASSIGNED: The findings indicated that the undesirable effects were reported by 82% of the participants. These side effects involve three categories: The most common, additional or reported, and persistent side effects. The most common side effects were pain at the site of injection (88.16%), bone pain/joint pain (68.7%), and fatigue (68.46%). Menstrual disorders (n = 46), hair loss (n = 34), and memory problems (n = 19) were reported by participants as additional side effects. Among all side effects, fatigue, joint pain, hair loss, and menstrual disorders were the most persistent side effects. Moreover, 190 participants reported that they were diagnosed with diseases soon after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine including COVID-19, thyroid gland disorder, and irritable bowel disease. The quality of life of some of the participants was affected by post-COVID-19 vaccines, as 25.28% had anxiety, 21.22% had depression, and 33.16% had discomfort.
UNASSIGNED: These findings may contribute to understanding the effect of COVID-19 vaccines on the Saudi population\'s health and public opinion about these vaccines.
■横断面研究涉及两种性别的沙特参与者,年龄≥16岁,并在沙特阿拉伯接受了至少一剂可用疫苗。他们被要求填写一份在线问卷,分为三个部分:人口统计,病史,以及COVID-19疫苗后出现的副作用。
■研究结果表明,82%的参与者报告了不良反应。这些副作用包括三类:最常见的,额外的或报告的,和持续的副作用。最常见的副作用是注射部位疼痛(88.16%),骨痛/关节痛(68.7%),和疲劳(68.46%)。月经失调(n=46),脱发(n=34),参与者报告了记忆问题(n=19)作为额外的副作用。在所有副作用中,疲劳,关节痛,脱发,月经紊乱是最持久的副作用。此外,190名参与者报告说,他们在接受COVID-19疫苗后不久就被诊断出患有疾病,包括COVID-19,甲状腺疾病,和肠易激疾病.一些参与者的生活质量受到COVID-19后疫苗的影响,25.28%有焦虑,21.22%有抑郁症,33.16%有不适。
这些发现可能有助于了解COVID-19疫苗对沙特人口健康的影响以及公众对这些疫苗的看法。
