National data analyzed by a CDC vaccine safety committee reveals that both Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines are broadly safe, with severe side effects being rare.
A high mortality level was recorded for patients in long-term care facilities, but this is likely due to other variables including preexisting conditions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that the first 22 million Americans have been vaccinated for COVID-19 during a Jan. 27 meeting, marking a new milestone in the nation s tumultuous vaccine rollout.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices presented data on vaccine safety earlier this week, where it noted 23.5 million COVID-19 doses had been administered in the country amid “the most intense and comprehensive vaccine safety monitoring program in history.”
