This is the best analysis of Covid vaccine safety and side effects I have seen:
https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccine-safety/
“Of the 14,702 individual reports (0.027% of all doses administered), 3,967 were considered serious (0.007% of all doses administered).”
Figure 4 is of the typical side effects, which would not be included in those report counts.
“the most commonly reported [adverse events of special interest]...were myocarditis/pericarditis and Bell’s Palsy”
The very serious side effect types are discussed in “Detailed information on safety signals, other safety updates and deaths”
I agree, but I had a little difficulty finding the detail I wanted, so I copied and reformatted this table from that link.
Table 1. of reported adverse events of special interest by vaccine type ( ) up to and including September 3, 2021 (n= 2,773 ).

3 COVID-19 vaccines that are currently authorized in Canada cannot cause an infection because they do not contain the live virus . While they are all highly effective at preventing severe COVID-19 illness and death, no vaccine is 100% effective, and some COVID-19 cases will still occur. For vaccines that have a two-dose regimen, protection begins 14 days after the first dose, and 7 to 14 days after the second dose.
Please note that one report represents one person and may contain information on more than one adverse event of special interest.
