Did you know that you are more likely to die in a car crash than have a severe allergic reaction from getting the COVID-19 vaccine? According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC90 people die every day in such accidents, while only 1.3 people per million are allergic to vaccines.
The COVID-19 vaccines distributed in the country - Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson - have proven effective even against dangerous variants of the virus, such as Delta.
Currently, 157.6 million people have been fully vaccinated in the U.S. and if this pace continues, deaths will be exceeded by a large percentage.
So far there are 33 million 582 thousand 352 COVID-19 positive cases in the country. However, the number of daily deaths has decreased, thanks to vaccination against the virus.
On July 6, 229 COVID-19 deaths were detected nationwide, bringing the total to 603,656. But the numbers can still go down if vaccination continues.
Serious side effects are very unlikely to occur after receiving any vaccine, including COVID-19 vaccine.
Vaccination monitoring has historically shown that side effects generally occur within six weeks after vaccine administration. For this reason, the FDA required that all licensed COVID-19 vaccines be studied for at least two months after the final dose is administered.
Millions of people received the COVID-19 vaccines and no long-term side effects were detected. CDC continues to closely monitor the safety of the vaccines.
If scientists find a connection between a safety problem and a vaccine, the FDA and the vaccine manufacturer will work to find an appropriate solution to address the specific problem.
