    • Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.

    • Adverse events described on this page have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)external icon.

    • VAERS accepts reports of any adverse event following vaccination, even if it is not clear the vaccine caused the problem.

    • After a temporary pause to investigate thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) following vaccination with Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen (J&J/Janssen) COVID-19 Vaccine, the data show that TTS is a rare adverse event. The known and potential benefits of the J&J/Janssen vaccine outweigh its known and potential risks.
