Vaccines: Safety First

Safety is a top priority while federal partners work to make a COVID-19 vaccine(s) available. Vaccines are rigorously tested using thousands of study participants to generate data and other information for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These results help to determine the safety and effectiveness of vaccines for mass distribution.
