Abstract BiCoVac is a population-based Danish cohort aiming to examine whether Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines are associated with non-specific symptoms beyond the specific protection of COVID-19. Data were collected by four questionnaire surveys between May 2021 and July 2022 distribution was aligned COVID-19 vaccination program. All self-reported information on (e.g., headache, nausea, fatigue). The baseline survey additionally gathered lifestyle health. Survey data combined from registers including test results. A total 911,613 (25% all citizens aged 16 65) randomly sampled for 252,401 initiated questionnaire. Of these, 59% ( n = 149,070) participated in 1st follow-up, 43% 107,655) 2nd 25% 63,737) 3rd follow-up. Women individuals above 40 years age more likely participate. Among vaccinated respondents, 25–38% reported moderate severe immediate following vaccination, varying vaccine doses. Females, younger individuals, those prior symptoms. Results potential did not reveal higher risk involuntary movements among compared unvaccinated individuals.
