I've been getting a lot of questions of how the Pfizer's COVID19 vaccine side effect profile compares to other common vaccines. So - I made some graphics.

Pfizer's vaccine has less side effects than Shingrix but more so than the influenza vaccine and placebo.
Pfizer vs Shingrix
Pfizer vs Placebo
Pfizer vs Flu
And for funzies I compares the placebo in Pfizer's trial to the flu - which is very comparable. Again, 2020 effect! or the flu vaccine is simply benign.

*These are all after the first dose of the vaccine.
