Background:
Despite the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination, the occurrence of side effects has raised concerns among healthcare providers and the general population.
Methods:
The aim of the study was to investigation the administration technique of COVID-19 vaccines and the side effects observed after vaccination. The data for the descriptive and cross-sectional study were collected using the "Patient Information Form", "Vaccine Administration Checklist Form", and "COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects Monitoring Form". The STROBE checklist was followed to ensure methodological rigour.
Results:
Binary logistic regression analysis conducted in the study identified gender and vaccine type as factors influencing the risk of side effects. Women were found to have a 3.887 times lower likelihood of experiencing side effects (p = 0.005). Also, individuals vaccinated with Turkovac and Sinovac were found to have a lower risk of side effects compared to those vaccinated with BioNTech (p = 0.006 and p = 0.003, respectively).
Conclusions:
The study findings show that the most commonly observed side effects after COVID-19 vaccination are pain at the injection site and tenderness in the extremity. Additionally, gender and vaccine type were found to be significant factors influencing the risk of side effects.
