Anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are the safest and most effective modality to stop the COVID-19 pandemic which limits the hospital and intensive care unit admission. World Health Organization delay acceptance or refusal of vaccines and considered it a critical decision-making procedure. Although the high safety profile of the vaccine, there were reported rare adverse events following vaccine administration. Global adverse events are categorized into; uncommon, common, and very common. The vaccine induces the immune-mediated response which takes days to develop, so resulting a lifelong immunity or a subsequent exaggerated adverse reaction in the second booster dose. The aim of this study is to thorough light on the importance of vaccines to limit the wide spread of the virus and raise awareness of physicians toward different common and rare adverse reactions to promote early diagnosis and so prevent complications.
