Abstrakt: Background: Vaccines during the pandemic COVID-19 were the best solution to overcome the pandemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare Sputnik V, Sinopharm, and AstraZeneca vaccins' side effects. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed among healthcare workers in a teaching hospital. The checklist was prepared for collecting data of demographic variables, respondents' medical history, and vaccines side effects. Results: More than half of participants received Sinopharm, while the development of COVID-19 following AstraZeneca was significantly among smaller proportion of respondents than other vaccines (P< 0.0001). There was no significant difference between age group and general side effects. The prevalence of serious side effects was higher in healthcare workers younger than 40 years old (P< 0.0001). The emergence of oral side effects was higher in participants who received two doses of vaccines in comparison to individuals who received one dose (P< 0.0001). Conclusion: The prevalence of serious side effects was higher in sputnik V in comparison to the other vaccines. The vaccines serious side effects were linked to the age of vaccinated people and immune system responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
