COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Confirmed by Largest Study to Date

Recent international research reiterates the rarity of serious side effects, emphasizing vaccines' role in preventing severe COVID-19 illness.

An international study involving over 99 million people has confirmed known, rare side effects of COVID-19 vaccines, while identifying a potential link between the first dose of the Moderna vaccine and a small risk of a neurological condition.
The study's findings underscore the vaccines' effectiveness in preventing severe COVID-19 disease, with serious side effects being rare and having good prognoses.
Misleading social media claims have misrepresented the study's findings, suggesting vaccines are unsafe despite the evidence showing their benefits far outweigh the risks.
The study also confirmed the potential for rare blood clotting conditions associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine, but emphasized these conditions are extremely rare.
Experts and health authorities continue to recommend COVID-19 vaccination, highlighting the vaccines' safety and their crucial role in reducing the risk of severe illness.
