Abstract
La vacunación se considera una de las herramientas más importantes para la prevención de la COVID-19; sin embargo, conlleva la posibilidad de efectos adversos luego de su administración. Objetivo: Identificar los efectos adversos atribuidos a la vacunación contra la COVID-19 en estudiantes de Medicina. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo, realizado en estudiantes de Medicina de la UNT, mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario. Se calculó la frecuencia de efectos adversos atribuidos a las tres dosis de vacunación contra la COVID-19. Resultados: Más de las tres cuartas partes de estudiantes presentó por lo menos un efecto adverso y más de la mitad, tuvo dos o más efectos simultáneamente. El dolor en el lugar de la inyección, con un 74.27%, 69.11% y 50.73% para la primera, segunda y tercera dosis, respectivamente, fue el efecto más reportado; seguido de fatiga, cefalea y fiebre; de presentación leve y duración menor de 7 días. Conclusión: El efecto adverso más frecuente para la primera, segunda y tercera dosis, fue el dolor en el lugar de la inyección, seguido de fatiga, cefalea y fiebre.
Abstract Vaccination is considered one of the most important tools for the prevention of COVID-19, however, it carries the possibility of adverse effects after its administration. Objective: Identify the adverse effects attributed to vaccination against COVID-19 in medical students. Materials and Methods: Descriptive observational study, carried out on UNT Medicine students, through the application of a questionnaire. The frequency of adverse events attributed to the three doses of COVID-19 vaccination was calculated. Results: More than three quarters of students presented at least one adverse effect and more than half had two or more effects simultaneously. Pain at the injection site, with 74.27%, 69.11% and 50.73% for the first, second and third doses, respectively, was the most reported effect; followed by fatigue, headache and fever; mild presentation and duration of less than 7 days. Conclusion: The most frequent adverse effect for the first, second and third doses was pain at the injection site, followed by fatigue, headache and fever.
