Most of those who received the vaccine reported only minor redness and swelling on the injection site. Intense pain has been reported by less than 1% of patients.

Fatigue and headaches were the most common side effects. However, the vaccine was generally very well tolerated - these symptoms were also reported to those who had received placebo. The fever was reported in 0.2% in the vaccine group and in 0.1% of those who had placebo after the first dose.
