from slide 6 - 2.35% of recipients were "unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work, required care from doctor or health care professional".

I won't be joining the queue.

More notable is the title of the document:

Anaphylaxis Following m-RNA COVID-19 Vaccine Receipt.

Anyone who has had a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) before to vaccines won't be getting this one, as pointed out on the NHS website
Tell staff before you are vaccinated if you have ever had a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).

You should not have the vaccine if you've ever had a serious allergic reaction to medicines, vaccines or food.

See https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-vaccine/

It gets even better. Unless you have had a previous episode of drug induced Anaphylaxis there is no reliable test for finding out if you are at risk.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5325322/

"....There is currently no reliable sensitive and specific biomarker for anaphylaxis or for risk of anaphylaxis....."

So very much a case of Russian Roulette. Until now there has been no reliable baseline dataset for prevalence of risk of an anaphylaxis episode in the general population. I think we are about to get that dataset. And 2%/3% sounds about the right order of magnitude given the mechanism involved.

A risk with any vaccine. Its a known possibility with any vaccine.

Its also one reason why you dont vaccinate people not at risk from a disease in the first place!
