Vaccine adverse events

Adverse events in Australia - I've made these graphs based on Australian adverse events. https://www.ausvaxsafety.org.au/safety-data
Underlying data here:

I thought it would be interesting to gather this data together to see how the new vaccines compare with others... And it shows that the covid vaccines are causing significantly more adverse events than other vaccines. (5.9% in the flu shot, just over 60% in Astrazeneca)... Also most common reaction to flu shot is pain in arm and tiredness.  
In Astra it's fatigue and headaches that's more common.

If you take the flu shot you'll probably feel fine. If you take Astrazeneca, based on the experience of over 100,000 Australians it'll probably knock you around for a day or two.

It also shows you're more likely to have an adverse events on the second dose of Pfizer than the first... Still awaiting data on Astrazeneca dose 2. (Although TGA AUSPAR assessment commented that adverse events were less common with the second dose)

My graphs based on data collected from 

Also worth noting is that these reports are showing a lot more headaches and fatigue than initially reported by Astrazeneca in their submission to the TGA

Australian results from over 100,000 people taking Astrazeneca: (from Ausvaxsafety site)
What was initially told to the TGA by Astrazeneca: (from TGA Auspar document)
Australian data based on over 100,000 people is showing fatigue to be 10X as common and headaches to be 4X as common as the initial trials in 10,000 vaccine recipients.
