What You Need to Know
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.
Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in US history. CDC recommends everyone stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines for their age group.
Hundreds of Millions of People Have Safely Received a COVID-19 Vaccine:
More than 670 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been given in the United States from December 14, 2020, through February 8, 2023. To view the current total number of COVID-19 vaccinations that have been administered in the United States, please visit the CDC COVID Data Tracker.
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. COVID-19 vaccines were evaluated in tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials. The vaccines met the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) rigorous scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization (EUA).
The Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen and Novavax COVID-19 vaccines will continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in US history. This monitoring includes using both established and new safety monitoring systems to make sure that COVID-19 vaccines are safe.
Common Side Effects
Some people have side effects after getting their COVID-19 vaccine, while others might have no side effects. Side effects may affect the ability to do daily activities, but they should go away within a few days.
Adverse Events (Serious Safety Problems) Are Rare
In rare cases, people have experienced serious health events after COVID-19 vaccination. Any health problem that happens after vaccination is considered an adverse event. An adverse event can be caused by the vaccine or can be caused by a coincidental event not related to the vaccine, such as an unrelated fever, that happened following vaccination.
To date, the systems in place to monitor the safety of these vaccines have found four serious types of adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination. However, evidence suggests, although rare, a link to certain types of COVID-19 vaccinations that were administered have had adverse effects:
After COVID-19 vaccination, experience with these adverse events are rare.
Reports of Death Are Uncommon
Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare. FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem. CDC and FDA review reports of death following COVID-19 vaccination and update information as it becomes available.
Benefits of Vaccination Outweigh the Risks
Serious side effects that could cause a long-term health problem are extremely rare following any vaccination, including COVID-19 vaccination. The benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known and potential risks.
CDC continues to closely monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines. Everyone who receives a COVID-19 vaccine can also participate in safety monitoring by enrolling themselves - or their children or dependents 6 months and older - in a smartphone-based system called v-safe and completing health check-ins after COVID-19 vaccination.
Please report it to VAERS. In addition, enrolling yourself or your dependent in v-safe allows you to easily report to CDC how you are feeling after getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
Remember that when you come to the club and are unsure that you are symptomatic, you can:
- talk to one of our staff, and we will anonymously post a warning;
- ask our staff for a test and mask if you don’t have one or both, and it will be handled discretely.
If you have any of these symptoms, or have tested positive for the virus, seek medical attention immediately and:
- If you have any question/concerns about the R.A.C. policies on Covid-19, please call the Club (916-781-2763).
- If you want to know more about symptoms, the vaccine and side-effects, please visit CDC.
- Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)
- CDC COVID Data Tracker.
- v-safe
We hope to see you real soon!
