One of the more mystifying things about the COVID-19 vaccine is the grab bag of side effects people experience. Why exactly do some people have rough reactions while others experience no symptoms at all? Does your reaction to the immunization predict how you'd react to COVID? Reporter Seraphina Seow asked experts. Read what they had to say here.
Side effects or not, it's important to get your shot when it's your turn. The benefits of the vaccine far outweigh any potential side effects you might experience from it. I can't wait to get mine!

However, in some cases, that stress can turn into a condition called health anxiety (or, more colloquially, hypochondria). Curious if your vigilance about staying safe is affecting your mental health? | |

Got a spare minute? Use it to change your life. Our "A Minute And Change" series will help you become happier, healthier and more productive by doing one thing a little differently.
