COVID-19 vaccines adverse reactions in the USA

 

     The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) receives reports on adverse reactions to vaccines. These reports can be filed by patients, health care providers, or even family members. As of 17 January 55 Americans have died soon after receiving an mRNA vaccination. The FDA and CDC investigate all these reports. Of course, most deaths are due to underlying illnesses; the system does not require proof that the vaccine caused the event in order to accept the report. The CDC has reported that severe allergic reactions to COVID-19 vaccines were happening at a rate of 11.1 per million vaccinations; for a rough comparison flu vaccinations have a rate of 1.3 deaths per million. Norway has changed its COVID-19 vaccination guide to direct officials not to give "very frail" people the vaccines.
