Brief Answer: hi and welcome to hcm Detailed Answer: Thnks for the query. There wont be higher risk of side effect than usual in people who took it properly so you dont have to be worried about it. Known side effects usually include digestion problems,nausea diarrhea etc but it would be experienced after taking first tablet already. However,if you took it every day,not every second,then vaccine may be less effective and you may not be 100% immunised. But it is not necessary to repeat vaccine process. Wish you good health.
