Major severe acute respiratory coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine-associated adverse effects; benefits outweigh the risks.

Based on data from high-quality and population-based studies, major adverse effects are divided into four major organ-specific groups, including cardiovascular, neurologic, hematologic, and immune-allergic side effects. The incidence of most of these side effects is not different between vaccinated and normal populations, and currently, the benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 are greater than the mortality and morbidity risks of COVID-19 infection. However, further studies, specifically systematic review and meta-analysis, are still indicated to investigate further unknown side effects of these vaccines and the existence of causality between the vaccine and reported adverse events.
