According to the Paul Ehrlich Institute, the risk of serious side effects after a coronavirus vaccination is about 0.02%. On average, one in 5000 people experiences a serious adverse reaction.

The Paul Ehrlich Institute is responsible for monitoring the safety of vaccines in Germany. The institute collects and evaluates the notifications of suspected side effects in Germany and publishes safety reports on all the cases in which potential side effects or complications occurred soon after vaccination against COVID-19.
