Abstract

Background: vaccination is considered the most effective way to control the COVID-19 pandemic. And the knowlegde on reactions after vaccination and efficacy on Vietnamese people is still limited. Objectives: to determine the prevalence of reactions after vaccination and to evaluate reactions between the matched vaccine group and the mixed vaccine group among workers in Can Tho city, 2021. Marterials and method: a cross-sectional study on 180 subjects working at 2 garment companies in Can Tho city by systematic sampling method. Results: The percentage of reactions after 1st dose vaccine was 72.8% and 2nd dose vaccine was 55.6%, the most common symptom appeared after 1st and 2nd dose injections were fever, chills, headache and fatigue, lethargy. We have found a increase of reactions after vaccination mixed vaccine group to the matched vaccine group (OR = 3.09) and this difference was significant (p = 0.003). Conclusion: the percentage of reactions of COVID-19 vaccine was still high but decrease in 2nd dose. Mixing vaccine was associated with an increase prevalence of reactions. Therefore, that should be considered the benefits and limitations in vaccination against COVID-19.
