Since AstraZeneca is a new vaccine against SARSCOV2, it should be monitored worldwide. This study presents the adverse reactions caused by the second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. Thequantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional research used a validated survey conducted on 428 public staff who were vaccinated with the second dose of the ChAdOx1-S vaccine at the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, the results were processed in Jamovi. 289 respondents reported having symptoms after inoculation, women (13.15%) presented more symptoms than men (7.27%). Most of the symptoms, both local and systemic, were mild and subsided with the administration of oral analgesics and lasted up to three days in 50% of the cases. AstraZeneca’s vaccine proves to be a safe biologic vaccine to generate antibodies against SARSCOV” in the adult population, and its use is therefore recommended.
