COVID-19: Why does the vaccine hurt the arm?

Health experts confirm that arm pain after COVVID vaccination is a side effect common to all vaccines that are injected into intramuscular, such as seasonal flu vaccine.This is an inflammatory response after the injection.

The American Medicines Agency found that the COVVI-19 vaccine is more often painful than traditional vaccines.Statistics have shown that this pain is present in 83 % to 87 % of people vaccinated with the Pfizer or Moderna serum, compared to 36 % for people who received the flu vaccine.

Message RNA responsible for pain

The unique composition of these new vaccines contains the Messenger RNA protein, which allows us to recognize and defend the COVVI-19.These proteins are protected by lipid envelopes, in other words layers of fat and it is they who cause fairly strong inflammation causing pain.

So don't panic, it's normal and even healthy to have this type of pain.This means that the vaccine does its job perfectly.This arm of arms is without consequence and gradually disappears after one or two days.
