One of my family member who had second dose vaccination on 04 aug had fever on 12 aug then it subside after taking medicine. No fever after that till today. Other than that only on and off can hear clearing throat and cough. Another family member who had second dose vaccination on 09 Aug had on and off cough. 3rd family member had flu out of sudden today. All 3 had taken double dose vaccination. No further fever. Do I need to get them tested for Covid?

Good evening
Thank you for the question.

Based on your statement, we understand that you are concern about your family condition. here, i am trying to help you with your problem.

According to the WHO, reported side effects to COVID-19 vaccines have mostly been mild to moderate and short-lasting. They include:

  1. Fever
  2. Fatigue
  3. Headache
  4. Muscle pain
  5. Chills
  6. Diarrhoea
  7. Pain at the injection site

The chances of any of these side effects following vaccination differ according to the specific COVID-19 vaccine.

However, according to KKM, symptoms of Covid 19 include:

Most common symptoms:

  1. Fever
  2. Dry cough
  3. Tiredness

Less common symptoms:

  1. Aches and pains
  2. Sore throat
  3. Diarrhoea
  4. Conjunctivitis
  5. Headache
  6. Loss of taste or smell
  7. A rash on skin, or discolouration of fingers or toes

Serious symptoms:

  1. Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
  2. Chest pain or pressure
  3. Loss of speech or movement

Therefore, I think it is normal to get a side effect after you got the vaccine. But, you should bring your family to see doctor if the symptoms become worse or it remains for a long period of time. You can also talk to our doctors through online consultation for more information and proper treatment.

We hope that this answer will satisfy you. Thank you.
