Side effects of COVID-19 vaccines: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol of randomised trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for a large number of global COVID-19 cases. Strategies such as social isolation, personal hygiene and frequent hand washing have been implemented; however, a protective vaccine is required to achieve sufficient herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2 infection to ultimately control the COVID-19 pandemic. To meet the urgent need for a vaccine, a reduction in the development schedule has been proposed from 10-15 years to 1-2 years. For this reason, this systematic review and meta-analysis protocol aims to compare the side effects, safety and toxicity of COVID-19 vaccines available globally, including their combinations.

Methods and analysis

We will select randomised controlled trial-type studies that evaluate the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine
