Of the 82 reported side effects, 49 were related to Pfizer, 13 to Janssen, 12 to Moderna and 8 to AstraZeneca.

Since vaccination started in December, 3,754 adverse reaction reports have been made to the Agency of Medicines, 0.59 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.

Pfizer's Comirnaty vaccine is the most used vaccine in Estonia with a total 402,956 doses administered since December 27.

176,591 doses of the AstraZeneca Vaxzevria vaccine have been administered, 55,420 doses of the Moderna vaccine and 5,846 doses of the Janssen vaccine.

In total, 640,813 doses of coronavirus vaccines have been administered in Estonia.
