COVID-19 Vaccine Safety


Vaccination of Dubuque County healthcare providers with Pfizer's vaccine began on Thursday.  Yesterday, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized Moderna's vaccine candidate for emergency use. Before those vaccinations can begin, a CDC vaccine advisory panel -- scheduled to meet today -- must vote to recommend the vaccine, and the agency must accept that recommendation.  

Safety is a top priority while working to make COVID-19 vaccines available. Learn more about how CDC and its partners are ensuring the safety of COVID-19 vaccines at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety.html
