Article Synopsis
- * The CDC formed an independent group called the ACIP COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical Work Group (VaST) to monitor vaccine safety and address any concerns that arose post-authorization.
- * VaST met regularly from November 2020 to April 2023, collaborating with federal agencies to review safety data and inform vaccination policies while ensuring the effective assessment of safety during the rollout of multiple COVID-19 vaccines.
Importance: Because of historical associations between vaccines and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), the condition was a prespecified adverse event of special interest for COVID-19 vaccine monitoring.
Objective: To evaluate GBS reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and compare reporting patterns within 21 and 42 days after vaccination with Ad26.COV2.
Background: Data on medium-term outcomes in indivduals with myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination are scarce. We aimed to assess clinical outcomes and quality of life at least 90 days since onset of myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in adolescents and young adults.
Methods: In this follow-up surveillance study, we conducted surveys in US individuals aged 12-29 years with myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, for whom a report had been filed to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System between Jan 12 and Nov 5, 2021.
Importance: Vaccination against COVID-19 provides clear public health benefits, but vaccination also carries potential risks. The risks and outcomes of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are unclear.
Objective: To describe reports of myocarditis and the reporting rates after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination in the US.
