Never ones to miss out on trending topics and current affairs, fast food chain Nando’s has jumped on the #VaccineSideEffects bandwagon.

The hashtag topped the Twitter trends list this week as scores weighed in on the Pfizer “report” detailing the side-effects of its Covid-19 vaccine.

With all the conspiracy in the air, we wanted to clear something up. The only effect our sides have is a full stomach,” Nando's tweeted on Tuesday. 

The trend dominated Twitter after a video of US podcaster Liz Wheeler reading the side-effects from what she claimed was a report from Pfizer landed on SA Twitter.

Known Pfizer vaccine side-effects include soreness or redness of the arm at the injection site and a mild headache.

The SA Health Products Regulatory Authority investigates cases of adverse side-effects.
