  Summary
  
  Findings. Consumer concerns about the safety of COVID-19 vaccines were amplified by multiple, overlapping
  
  and widely circulating misinformation narratives. As a result, some consumers questioned the transparency of the government in reporting and addressing adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination. The Delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19 continues to drive concerns about vaccine effectiveness, especially among those who are already vaccinated. However, those who remain unvaccinated are generally less likely to perceive the Delta variant as a threat, and vaccine intentions do not appear to be affected.
  
  Ways to take action. Federal, state, and local partners should continue to work together to increase transparency around rationale for updated guidance, respond to gaps in information, and confront misinformation with evidence- based messaging. The goal of these efforts is to increase confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and expand vaccine uptake more broadly. Messages leveraging available data on vaccine safety and effectiveness should be disseminated, especially in relation to the Delta variant and circulating misinformation narratives. Public health agencies should partner with trusted messengers and healthcare personnel to further amplify these messages. Research efforts should be supported to further evaluate the effect of reported adverse events, side effects, and vaccine effectiveness on vaccination intent and motivation.
