Background: Since the COVID-19 epidemic of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS COV-2) in 2019, with over 376 and 5.7 million people have contracted the disease and died as a result. Objective: This research evaluated the adverse effects of the COVID-19 immunization and its risks factors among healthcare professionals working in Pakistan. Methods: Healthcare professionals who received the Covid-19 vaccine at Mufti Mehmood Memorial Teaching Hospital Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan, between June 2021 and May 2022 were the subject of the research. It was determined whether there was a significant connection between the distinct factors and the result variables using bivariable and multivariable binary logistic regression (MBLR) models. Results: One or more adverse effects were experienced by 198 (55.73%) of the healthcare employees who received the Covid-19 immunization. Fever, Headache, Myalgia, Tiredness, Injected site pain and dizziness (n=158; 44.63%, n=135; 38.13%, n=109; 30.79%, n=98; 27.68%, n=92; 25.98%, n=86; 24.29%; respectively) made up the bulk of the adverse effects. Healthcare professionals with less than eight years of employment (AOR: 3.47, 95% CI, 1.23-9.69), hesitancy to receive the Covid-19 vaccine's 1st dose (AOR: 3.11, 95% CI, 1.71-4.88), taking antihypertensive drugs (AOR: 2.51; 95% CI, 0.12-0.39), and immunization safety is viewed as being insecurely.
