People who do not expect anything good from COVID-19 vaccines and have negative experiences with their bodies report worse side effects from the shots, a new study found.
People who do not expect anything good from COVID-19 vaccines and have negative experiences with their bodies report worse side effects from the shots, a newTen public health researchers published the study Monday in JAMA Network Open, examining 1,678 adults who received a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA-based vaccines at a public distribution center in Hamburg, Germany on Aug. 16-28, 2021.
According to the researchers, these findings confirm the psychosomatic role of “nocebo effects” in driving vaccine hesitancy. “Clinician-patient interactions and public vaccine campaigns may both benefit from these insights by optimizing and contextualizing information provided about COVID-19 vaccines,” the researchers said. “Unfavorable nocebo-related adverse effects could then be prevented, and overall vaccine acceptance could be improved.”
