 +Abstract
 +Using meta-analytic methods, we calculated expected rates of 21 potential adverse events of special interest (AESI) that would occur following COVID-19 vaccination within 1-, 7-, and 42-day intervals without causal associations. Based on these expected rates, if 10,000,000 persons are vaccinated, 0.5, 3.7, and 22.5 Guillain-Barre syndrome cases; 0.3, 2.4, and 14.3 myopericarditis cases; and 236.5, 1655.5, and 9932.8 all-cause deaths would occur coincidentally within 1, 7, and 42 days post-vaccination, respectively. Expected rates of potential AESI can contextualize events associated temporally with immunization, aid in safety signal detection, guide COVID-19 vaccine health communications, and inform COVID-19 vaccine benefit-risk assessments.

 The study reported findings from mid-December 2020 through June 26, 2021. Some of the early findings had been summarized previously and reported at public meetings of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, though the JAMA article is the VSD’s first comprehensive report of its safety surveillance of the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines. The study reported findings from mid-December 2020 through June 26, 2021.

-“The results of this study are a great example of how seriously CDC takes vaccine safety, and how thorough and transparent we are in our safety monitoring efforts,” said [[:Tom Shimabukuro]], MD, leading vaccine safety for the COVID-19 response and the deputy director of CDC’s Immunization Safety Office. “It is our top priority to do the science and communicate quickly and clearly with healthcare providers and the public, as COVID-19 vaccines continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history. Getting vaccinated remains the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones against a virus that has taken millions of lives.”+The CDC rushed out two papers in 2021 to show how safe the COVID vaccines were by reporting on the 5,104 women who had registered for follow-up after their jab. The second of those reports did not report on pregnancies beyond 20 weeks.
