COVID-19 Vaccines: Safety, Effectiveness, Development, and Trust

 
Safety is the most important priority in vaccine approval
FDA advises a minimum of 3,000 participants to assess safety;
the three vaccines that are authorized to use in the US had
trials with 30,000 to 50,000 participants
 The FDA and CDC have monitoring systems in place to detect
any safety signs associated with any of the COVID-19 vaccines
And they work, as demonstrated with the Johnson &
Johnson vaccine; they were able to detect a 1 in a million
safety signal
We now have even more data to show that the COVID-19
vaccines available in the US are safe to use

Women 18-49 have a very rare risk of getting a clot 1-2
weeks after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and have the
option of other vaccines
There have been no clotting issues with the Pfizer or
Moderna COVID-19 vaccines

How Were the COVID-19
Vaccines Developed So
Quickly?
 
Major reasons we were able to get
these vaccines developed more
quickly than usual include:
Global effort with the world’s
leading scientists focused on a
single task
Nearly unlimited resources
(money, knowledge, manpower,
technology)
A large pool of diverse adult
volunteer trial participants
 
The FDA is using the same strict standards that it has for decades
No steps were “skipped”

1.
The Vaccine and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) that
advises the FDA
2.
 The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) that advises the CDC
The ACIP continues to review the vaccines for safety and will make recommendations as
needed for each of the 3 vaccines
 
Why Should We Trust the COVID-19 Vaccine?
 
The CDC states that a person is fully vaccinated and protected
2 weeks after the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19
vaccines
2 weeks after the single dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine
The most current data shows that protection lasts at least 6 months, but we
will learn more with each passing month how long our protection will last
May need to have vaccine booster shots in the future; scientists are already
researching this
 
How Quickly and For How Long Will I Be Protected by
the COVID-19 Vaccine?
 
Short-Term Side Effects (1-2 days after
the vaccine):
Fever
Fatigue
Headache
Pain at the injection site
Side effects were more common
after the second dose of the Pfizer
and Moderna vaccines
Risk of Anaphylaxis
Pfizer: 4.7 cases per million
Moderna: 2.5 cases per million
Reports of Anaphylaxis After Receipt of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines in
the US—December 14, 2020-January 18, 2021 Published

The Most Common Side
Effects to the Pfizer,
Moderna and Johnson &
Johnson Vaccines
 
YES!
You are not fully protected until you get your second
dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine
The first shot of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID 19
vaccine introduces the body to the spike protein and
provides some immunity, but the second dose of both
these vaccines significantly increases protection and can
lead to longer lasting and more effective protection again
the COVID-19 virus and its variants
 
Do I Need to Get the Second
Dose of the Pfizer or Moderna
COVID-19 Vaccine?
 
The Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines all have
been showed to protect against the B117, B135, and P1 variants
We are still learning the details about how much protection each vaccine
gives to the known variants
It appears that the vaccines give more protection than the immunity
acquired after natural infection
Many of the COVID-19 variants are more contagious and therefore the
COVID-19 vaccines are a vital tool for stopping the variants from
spreading and preventing new variants from immerging
 
Do the COVID-19 Vaccines Protect Against the
Known Variants?
 
Is the COVID-19 Vaccine
Safe To Take if I Am
Pregnant or Planning To
Become Pregnant?
 
Study just published shows Moderna and
Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines are safe for
pregnant women
No increased risk for miscarriage,
premature births and other
complications
CDC recommended that coronavirus
vaccines be made available to pregnant
women, no preference on type or which
COVID-19 vaccine to use
Women should also consult with their
doctors when making a decision about
vaccination.

There is no data or evidence that any of the COVID-19 vaccines can cause sterility
People who have received any of the 3 COVID-19 vaccines have not had any
increased complications with pregnancy compared to before the pandemic began

COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the US have undergone rigorous safety assessments with large trial participant numbers. The FDA and CDC actively monitor for any safety signals. The vaccines are proven safe and effective, developed quickly due to global collaboration and resources. Trust in the vaccines is supported by strict FDA standards and independent expert reviews.
