All COVID-19 vaccines are safe and have been subject to the same rigorous scientific studies as other vaccines. The vaccines have undergone scientific review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and CDC science and medical expert advisory committees to ensure that these vaccines are both safe and effective. The vaccine trials have been held to the same scientific standards as other vaccines that have been licensed for use and the FDA has not lowered their standards for these vaccines. While experts continue to gather data on the long-term protection and outcomes after vaccination, the vaccines have been appropriately studied to ensure they are effective and safe  and the safety of the vaccines will continue to be monitored. 

Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Vaccine Finder at www.vaccines.gov and click on “Find COVID-19 Vaccines”. Check the vaccine(s) you are interested in and enter your zip code. Find a location near you, then call or visit their website to make an appointment.
