I think the side effects are not trivial, but they are not long-lasting.  I've heard vaccine trial participants on twitter (warning, not a representative sample) say that they knew they got the active vaccine, because they were flattened the rest of the day.  I think it can cause profound fatigue, headaches, fever, and muscle aches, but that usually goes away in a day or so.  Ironically, that might make it a bad bet for healthcare workers, whose employers can't afford for a substantial proportion of their workforce to be out of commission for a day when they are vaccinated.
