The main cons of getting the Covid vaccine are the potential side effects, which can include pain, swelling, and redness at the injection site, fever, fatigue, and headache. In very rare cases, severe allergic reactions have been reported. It is important to note that these side effects are usually mild and temporary, and the benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risks. Additionally, there is a small risk that the vaccine may not be effective for some people, or that it may not fully protect them from the virus. It is also important to note that the vaccine may not be effective until two weeks after the second dose, so it is important to follow the recommended schedule and keep in mind that it takes time to build up immunity.
