How Do We Know That Covid-19 Vaccines are Safe?

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), over 211 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine have been administered in the United States from December 14, 2020 to April 19, 2021.

COVID-19 vaccines were evaluated in tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials. The vaccines met FDA’s rigorous scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization (EUA).

The Covid-19 Vaccine - What To Expect

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has issued a two-page Fact Sheet that outlines what to expect from the Covid-19 vaccine. We encourage you to read the attached document to learn about the safety and efficacy of the vaccine and what to expect should you receive the vaccine.
 
The data show that the vaccine is a key exit strategy from the pandemic. We hope to have information soon about receiving the vaccine as a group of essential workers and will share that information as it becomes available.

What is the Difference Between a Cold and the Flu?

The Flu and the common Cold are both respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses.

Because these two types of illnesses have different symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Let the CDC help. In the attachment, the CDC gives us guidelines to help us try to tell the difference between the common cold and influenza.
