Can COVID-19 vaccines affect athletic performance in the short term?

Getting the COVID-19 vaccine — especially the second shot — can produce minor side effects such as aches and fever that tend to go away after a day or two. Adding to the list, a small study from the University of Arizona found that people may find it slightly challenging to exercise after getting a two-dose coronavirus vaccine.
