Abstract
Background: Current COVID-19 vaccines were approved under an emergency use authorization without a long-term safety data. Therefore, patient counseling and monitoring by pharmacists are important to minimize adverse drug reactions(ADRs) following vaccination. The objective of our study was evaluating ADRs reported following COVID-19 vaccination and considering the need to expand the scope of pharmacy practice. Methods: A survey was conducted to employees and residents in 14 nursing homes located in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do following the first round of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccination. Results: There were a total of 507 survey responses included for evaluation. Regarding the severity of physical discomfort following vaccination, approximately 50% of people from 20’s to 40’s responded moderate whereas majority of those 50’s and above responded mild. The most common ADR was injection site reaction (85%), followed by myopathy (65%), fever (61%), fatigue (50%), chill (43%), and headache (38%). Among 78% of respondents who took a medication to relive an ADR from vaccination, 11.6% took acetaminophen prior to and 94% after vaccination. Conclusion: The scope of pharmacy practice should be expanded so that pharmacists can be involved in all aspects of vaccination, particularly in patient counseling, to minimize ADRs.
