The health insurance company filtered their data looking for the following side effects:
- T88.0: (local) infection after vaccination
- T88.1: skin irritation after vaccination
- U12.9: non-further classified side effects after COVID19 vaccination, e.g. headache
- Y59.9: non-further classified side effects after biological active substance
and calculate 2% of the insured had side effects.
That's compared to the Paul Eichlich Instite which reports 0.3% having had side effects. The institute used a mobile app where it was optional after vaccination to self-report. I used it. There's a link in the paperwork you receive at the vaccination center. I don't know any other person who used it.
My opinion: the PEI data is probably underreported. The side effects listed here are harmless (compared to the outcry on German Twitter). Headache, skin irritation. In my family and friends almost everybody had one of the two at some point during their 3 vaccinations.
Personally I'm very fine with 2% or 5% of the population having the listed side effects. I mean, compared to what effects COVID19 has on unvaccinated body.
The insurance company could've filtered and reported severe side effects like myelitis which has classified codes, but didn't.
