COVID-19 Vaccine: Common Side-effects You Should Know About
新冠肺炎疫苗：你应该知道的常见副作用
Medical researchers around the world are on a war footing to develop effective vaccines against the COVID-19 virus, which has devastated healthcare systems, economies and life in general. Many of the vaccine candidates which are at different stages of trials have shown promising results. The frontrunners include Pfizer, Moderna, Oxford-Astrazeneca and Sputnik V among several others.
世界各地的医学研究人员都在争先恐后地开发有效的疫苗来对抗新冠肺炎病毒，这种病毒已经摧毁了医疗体系、经济和一般生活。许多处于不同试验阶段的候选疫苗都显示出了令人振奋的结果。领跑者包括辉瑞(Pfizer)、现代(Modern Na)、牛津-阿斯利康(Oxford-AstraZeneca)和Sputnik V等。
While different vaccines have exhibited high efficacy rates of over 90 per cent, the concerns surrounding their usage is also crucial to understand. Doctors and specialists have cautioned that getting inoculated can be a complicated process as several side-effects have been observed during the trials of the vaccines.
虽然不同的疫苗显示出超过90%的高有效率，但围绕其使用的担忧也是理解这些疫苗的关键。医生和专家告诫说，接种疫苗可能是一个复杂的过程，因为在疫苗试验期间观察到了几种副作用。
These side-effects have not been found to be too dangerous and at any rate no vaccine that creates life-threatening complications would be approved. It is, however, advisable for the general public to know about the potential side-effects to be better prepared. Here are some of the side-effects of COVID-19 vaccines:
这些副作用还没有被发现是太危险的，而且无论如何，不会批准产生危及生命的并发症的疫苗。然而，让普通公众知道潜在的副作用是明智的，要做好更充分的准备。以下是新冠肺炎疫苗的一些副作用：
1. Headaches
1.头痛。
Headaches are very common with over 50 per cent of people who were vaccinated during trials experiencing varying levels of pain.
头痛非常普遍，在试验期间接种疫苗的人中，超过50%的人经历了不同程度的疼痛。
2. Fever and chills
2.发烧和发冷。
Fever and chills are among the most common side-effects observed in Moderna vaccine trials. One participant developed a fever up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit following a dose, which subsided within a few hours without any medical assistance.
发烧和发冷是现代疫苗试验中观察到的最常见的副作用之一。一名参与者在服药后出现了高达102华氏度的发烧，在没有任何医疗帮助的情况下，几个小时内就消退了。
3. Nausea and vomiting
3.恶心和呕吐。
Trials have shown that the vaccine can affect the gastrointestinal system resulting in nausea and vomiting. One of Moderna's participants who received a high dose was left feeling “down and out” for hours. The shot may also induce abdominal cramps and fatigue.
试验表明，疫苗会影响胃肠道系统，导致恶心和呕吐。现代纳的一名参与者在接受了高剂量的治疗后，感觉“情绪低落”达数小时之久。注射还可能导致腹部抽筋和疲劳。
4. Migraines
4.偏头痛。
The COVID-19 vaccine can induce migraine pain, especially in individuals having a history of the disease. One of Pfizer’s trial participants reportedly felt a debilitating migraine pain which left her exhausted. People are advised to take suitable rest following the vaccination. Taking a day off from work would be a good idea.
新冠肺炎疫苗会引起偏头痛，特别是有偏头痛病史的人。据报道，辉瑞的一名试验参与者感觉到了令人虚弱的偏头痛，这让她筋疲力尽。建议市民在接种疫苗后适当休息。请一天假是个好主意。
5. Muscle pain and soreness
5.肌肉酸痛。
Getting a vaccine injected can also cause soreness, muscle pain and rashes. These can be due to the immune response of the individual. Pfizer, Moderna and Oxford-Astrazeneca trials have found these symptoms in several participants.
注射疫苗也会导致疼痛、肌肉疼痛和皮疹。这可能是由于个体的免疫反应造成的。辉瑞、莫德纳和牛津-阿斯利康的试验已经在几名参与者身上发现了这些症状。
