Over 250 million doses of the vaccine have been given in the U.S. since December 2020. According to the CDC, COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective!

All vaccines are rigorously tested for safety and effectiveness.

  • More than 100,000 people volunteered in clinical trials for three vaccines—Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson—to make sure the vaccines were safe and worked to prevent COVID-19.
  • Experts and scientists from the Food and Drug Administration and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices reviewed the vaccine development data. Extensive post-monitoring efforts were implemented to safeguard those immunized.
  • The clinical trial data, along with post trial safety monitoring, showed that the vaccines help prevent COVID-19, serious illness from the disease and are highly effective in preventing hospitalization and death.
  • There were no serious safety concerns in the clinical trials with any vaccine. Reactions are temporary and most often result in a sore arm, fever, headache, or feeling tired and achy for a day or two.
