Self-Reported Adverse Events Following COVID-19 Vaccination Among Medical Sciences Students After a Symptomatology Training Program: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Accurate and transparent investigation of adverse events (AEs) following COVID-19 vaccination enhances social trust and confidence in vaccination programs. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination-related AEs among medical sciences students.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, a self-administered survey via Google Forms was conducted to evaluate AEs associated with the AZD1222 (Oxford-AstraZeneca) and BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) vaccines among medical sciences students. Data were collected following participation in a training program focused on the symptomatology of AEs, which was designed to reduce confirmation bias.

Results

A total of 263 medical sciences students from North Khorasan University of Medical Sciences, Bojnurd
