In Sörmland, Sweden, a total of 400 hospital employees received a dose of AstraZeneca’s vaccine on Thursday.

Out of the 400, 100 people reported what they suspect to be side effects, such as fever.

“It does not fit what we have seen,” Andreas Heddini, medical director of the Swedish-British pharmaceutical company in the Nordic region, noted.

He says that studies have shown that about 10% of people get side effects of the type that are being reported.
