Although the rate of severe allergic reactions is higher than in the general population, everyone with an allergic response been treated successfully, and no other serious problems have turned up among the first 22 million people vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The data was collected from several tracking systems, including a voluntary system where people who are vaccinated report their symptoms via text. Another allows people who believe they have been harmed by a vaccine to contribute their information and athird collects reports from medical records.

Although it’s never possible to prove something is completely safe, data from these tracking systems suggest the vaccines are not causing large numbers of unusual or dangerous results.

Tracking COVID-19 vaccine distribution by state:How many people have been vaccinated in the US?
In a Wednesday meeting, Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, deputy director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office, briefed a CDC advisory committee on the agency’s review of safety data collected so far on the two authorized vaccines.
Side effects remain a common result of both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, with 70% of people who self-reported saying they suffered pain.
Vaccinated people have suffered major health crises and even death within a few days of receiving a shot. But the rate of those events is no higher than would be expected in the general population and cannot be connected to the vaccine, the review found.
He did not address the several people who have been reported to have died after receiving a vaccine, including a Florida doctor and a California X-ray technologist.

More than 22M Americans have received at least one vaccine dose
More than 2 million people out of the first 22 million to receive at least one dose of the vaccine reported to the V-safe, a self-reporting system involving web surveys and text messages.
Of these, more than 70% reported pain, 33% fatigue, 30% headaches, 23% muscle pain, and about 11% chills, fever, swelling or joint pain.
There was little difference in reported side effects between the two vaccines, though people generally had a harder time with the second dose than the first.
More than 9,000 people reported side effects following vaccination to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, or VAERS. Just under 1,000 of those reports were considered serious. The majority of complaints involved headaches, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, chills, fever and pain.
A third safety reporting system, called the Vaccine Safety Datalink, looks at medical records from nine participating health care organizations, including data on more than 12 million people per year. More than 162,000 people in the system have received at least one COVID-19 shot.
In that group, there were “no signals as of January 16” of increased risk for any of 20 common conditions, which included heart attack, appendicitis, embolisms and diseases caused by low platelet counts.
In the vaccinated group, four people reported Bell’s palsy, a form of facial paralysis seen in a small number of people in each of the vaccine trials. In the unvaccinated group, there were 348 cases.
