Of the 80 reported side effects, 56 were related to Pfizer, 20 to AstraZeneca and four to Moderna. Zero side effects were reported after the Janssen vaccination.  

Pfizer's Comirnaty vaccine is the most used vaccine in Estonia with a total 359,216 doses administered since December 27. 173,712 doses of the AstraZeneca Vaxzevria vaccine have been administered with 45,289 doses of the Moderna vaccine, making up a total 579,309 total doses.

Since vaccination started in December, 3,672 adverse reaction reports have been made to the Agency of Medicines, 0.63 percent of the total number of vaccine doses administered.

The agency said it should be kept in mind that the symptoms reported may not be related to the vaccine but it publishes the information for transparency.

"This means that the information should not be interpreted as meaning that all these complaints are due to the vaccine. Only a detailed and scientific evaluation of all available data will allow conclusions to be drawn on the benefits and potential risks of the vaccine," the agency said.
