Is the COVID-19 Vaccine Safe?

Vaccines have very high safety standards, and the vaccines in development to prevent COVID-19 are no exception. Learn more about vaccine safety from Drs. Rodgers and Fauci.

Transcript:

DR. RODGERS: COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, and cannot make you sick with the virus.
Hi, I’m Dr. Griffin Rodgers with the NIH.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, explains.
DR. FAUCI: Vaccine safety has always been a top priority. None of the vaccines are made from the COVID-19 virus itself, but from a genetic code that signals the development of a protein that induces the body’s immune system to fight the virus. It is normal to experience mild side effects; they are a result of your body responding to the vaccine. However, the vaccine cannot cause an infection with the virus it is protecting you against.

In clinical trials thus far, the vaccines have been shown to be safe and highly efficacious. Scientists at my Institute helped develop the vaccine, and I’ve been vaccinated myself. Vaccines are a safe, effective tool in our fight against COVID-19.

DR. RODGERS: And I’ve been vaccinated, too. Follow us @NIDDKgov.

I like how all they ever talk about is how safe they are yet make no mention of the vaccines being suspended in multiple countries due to blood clots.

Vaccines are so safe they need to be protected from civil and criminal liability for the damage they do.
