Facts About COVID-19
These facts come from leading health organizations. They correct common, untrue rumors about COVID-19.
Vaccines are thoroughly tested for safety before they’re made available to the public
Vaccines go through extensive trials before they can be introduced in a country. Expert doctors and scientists follow strict international standards while deciding to make a vaccine available to the public. Like all medicines, vaccines may cause side effects that are usually minor and temporary. More serious side effects are extremely rare. A person is far more likely to be seriously harmed by a disease than by its vaccine.
COVID-19 vaccines were developed quickly while maintaining the highest safety standard possible
The need for a COVID-19 vaccine was urgent, so governments and companies spent much more money to develop it. Research and development took place at the same time around the world while still following strict safety and clinical standards. This allowed for faster vaccine development, but doesn’t make the studies any less rigorous or the vaccine any less safe.
COVID-19 vaccines can’t give you COVID-19
You can’t get COVID-19 from any of the vaccines. None of the vaccines available to the public contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. They may cause minor side effects such as a sore arm or mild fever. This is a sign that the vaccine is working.
Vaccine side effects are usually mild
Vaccines help protect the body from certain diseases. Like any medicine, they can cause minor, short-term side effects while the body adjusts them, such as a sore arm or a mild fever. More serious side effects are possible, but extremely rare. A person is far more likely to be seriously harmed by a disease than by its vaccine.
Vaccine trials involve a diverse range of volunteers
In clinical trials, people volunteer to take and test the vaccine. These volunteers should be from diverse geographic areas, racial and ethnic backgrounds, genders, and ages. They should also include people with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk for the disease. This helps ensure the vaccine is safe and effective for everyone.
