Just for clarity, 175,057 "yellow card" cases have been reported for the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca in the UK after 23.9M first doses and 9.0M second doses. Yellow card reports are not necessarily side effects of the vaccine but may be episodes that would have occurred regardless of vaccination. If all of those yellow card cases were related to vaccination, they would represent 0.53% of vaccinations.
Yellow card cases following AstraZeneca vaccination include injection-site tenderness, injection-site pain, headache, fatigue, myalgia, malaise, pyrexia (fever), chills, arthralgia, and nausea. The majority of adverse reactions were mild to moderate in severity and usually resolved within a few days of vaccination (my experience was injection-site tenderness, old aches and pains returning and malaise for a day - I often suffer from malaise, particularly after my footy team loses.).
Given that 127,500 people have died in the UK within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test, you can see why folk are more than happy to have any of the vaccines.
