from the DOH:
13. Are the COVID-19 vaccines safe and effective?
COVID-19 vaccines that are granted with Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are considered safe and effective based on the available evidence to date.
14. Are there risks for complications when given the COVID-19 vaccine?
Yes, like all other vaccines, there are risks of complications BUT SEVERE OR LIFE-THREATENING REACTIONS ARE EXTREMELY RARE. The benefit of protection against severe COVID-19 is greater than the risk. Anyone who will get the vaccine will be properly evaluated and closely monitored by health professionals to further minimize any risk.
15. What can we do while waiting for the vaccine?
We urge the public to be more vigilant with the information found online. Let us make it a habit to fact check and verify with reliable sources (DOH Facebook page, DOH website, WHO website, PIA website) regarding new information. Continue observing the minimum public health standards to prevent further transmission of the virus.

a lot of the anti vax nonsense is taking things out of context.
The adverse side effects get publicized without putting them into the context of the huge number of vaccinations given:
Anaphylaxis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and occurred in approximately 2 to 5 people per million vaccinated in the United States
As of May 11, 2021, more than 9 million doses of the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine have been given in the United States. Through continuous safety monitoring, CDC and FDA identified 28 confirmed reports of people who got the J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and later developed TTS.
Over 259 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through May 10, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 4,434 reports of death (0.0017%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine.

Yale medicine article describes the western vaccines: how they work and what they do.
This is from the BBC:
this does not include the Chinese or Russian vaccines.
There is good evidence that the Russian vaccine has good results (90 percent) but studies suggest the Chinese vaccine only gives 50 percent protection: so Brazil stopped using it.
But today an article claimed 90 percent protection in Indonesia from the Chinese vaccine. Alas, China lies so often one cannot believe that. Indeed, it is not clear that the study of this "Coronavax"is the same as the "Sinovax" given elsewhere, (why isn't this mentioned in the article? probably because it is not a news report but a press release, i.e. propaganda) and tell you the truth I'm too lazy to do a search to figure it out.
Local Philippine editorials by their patsies insist not only do they work, but that they have no side effects, and hey, they didn't use fetal cells so Catholics shouldn't get upset at using them.
No side effects? Not according to this report. But don't worry: The Chinese government forced the whistleblower to apologize. Nothing to see here, folks, just move along.

update: Things that make you go ""Hmm"":
From ZeroHenge via Tea At Trianon:
there is a massive outbreak of Covid in the Seychelles despite a high rate of being vaccinated with the Chinese and the Indian vaccines. Now they have to analyze which of these vaccines didn't protect folks:
The Indian Ocean archipelago nation started vaccinations in January when it introduced the Chinese-developed Sinopharm vaccine. It administered Chinese vaccine shots to 57% of those who were fully inoculated and the rest received vaccines that were made in India. Since last week, the number of active coronavirus cases has more than doubled to 2,486 people. Of these, 37 percent of the population have received both the vaccine doses, as per the report.
