Main data on efficacy and effectiveness against currently circulating variants of concern (VOC) or formerly VOC are presented above [WHO, 2022 ].
Vaccine efficacy/effectiveness is calculated by determining the percentage reduction in the risk of disease among vaccinated persons relative to unvaccinated persons and its margin of error.
Vaccine efficacy is used when a study is carried out under ideal conditions (e.g. a clinical trial); effectiveness, under typical field (i.e. less than perfectly controlled) conditions.

	Myocarditis/pericarditis	Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)	Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS)	Capillary leak syndrome (CLS)	Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) without thrombocytopenia	Menstrual disorders	Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS)	Small vessel vasculitis with cutaneous manifestations	Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH)
AstraZeneca/Oxford; SK BIO; Serum Institute of India COVID-19 vaccine: Vaxzevria; Covishield	NA	Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) have been reported very rarely following vaccination with Vaxzevria [21]. The benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks of GBS [2]; [3].	TTS in some cases accompanied by bleeding, has been observed very rarely following vaccination with Vaxzevria. This includes severe cases ans unusual sites such as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, splanchnic vein thrombosis, as well as arterial thrombosis. Some cases had a fatal outcome. The majority of these cases occurred within the first three weeks following vaccination. The reporting rates after the second dose are lower compared to after the first dose [21]. Vaxzevria is contraindicated in persons who have experienced TTS with previous doses of the vaccine [2].	Very rare cases of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) were reported in the first days after vaccination with Vaxzevria, with fatal outcomes in some people with prior experience of CLS. EMA recommends that persons with a known history of CLS should not be vaccinated with Vaxzevria [5] [21].	Events of cerebrovascular venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) without thrombocytopenia have been observed very rarely following vaccination with Vaxzevria, mostly within the first four weeks following vaccination. This information should be considered for individuals at increased risk for CVST [3].	NA	NA	NA	NA

As of April 2022, 535 cases were reported globally (1.5 cases per million vaccinees) [6], [18] The benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks of GBS [6].	Very rare cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) were reported following the first dose of Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. As of April 2022, 109 cases were reported globally (2 cases per million vaccinees) [6]. The benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks, especially in older age groups [4]. Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is contraindicated in persons who have experienced TTS with previous doses of the vaccine [4]; [6].	Very rare cases of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) were reported in the first days after vaccination with Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, with fatal outcomes in some people with prior experience of CLS. EMA recommends that persons with a known history of CLS should not be vaccinated with Janssen COVID-19 vaccine [7] [18]	Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been observed rarely following vaccination with Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. This should be considered for individuals at increased risk for VTE [8].

Moderna COVID-19 vaccine: Spikevax	These conditions can develop within just a few days after vaccination, and have primarily occurred within 14 days. They have been observed more often after the second dose compared to the first dose, and more often in younger males [19]. The benefits of Spikevax continue to outweigh its risks in all age groups [10].	NA	NA	A few cases of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) flare-ups have been reported in the first days after vaccination with Spikevax [19].	NA	The PRAC-EMA has concluded that heavy menstrual bleeding is a side effect of unknown frequency of Spikevax. Most of cases are non-serious and temporaty in nature. There is no evidence to suggest the menstrual disorders experienced have any impact on reproduction and fertility [12].	NA	NA	According to PRAC/EMA, the available evidence does not support a causal link between Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and very rare cases of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) [13].
Novavax COVID-19 vaccine: Nuvaxovid; Covovax	There is an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with Nuvaxovid. These conditions can develop within just a few days after vaccination and have primarily occurred within 14 days. [16].	NA	NA	NA	NA	NA	NA	NA	NA
