No, it is not an outcome of the vaccine. This is a weakened viral vector vaccine which cannot cause a disease the only outcome of this vaccine is antibody generation. Antibody generation can cause symptoms like body pain and fever. Cough and throat pain can be a result of anxiety associated with the illness or most like a upper respiratory infection. A vaccine is not effective to until 14-18 days post second dose.
