A new study found that getting a COVID-19 vaccine reduced the likelihood of adverse cardiovascular events (like heart attacks and strokes) that were caused by getting a COVID infection AND those that were unrelated to a COVID infection. That's pretty neat!

Everyone, especially those who are at high risk for getting sick, should make sure they're protected against COVID-19 with an updated vaccine.

Concerns about how many vaccines kids get are circulating on social media. You might have heard claims that the vaccine schedule is "exploding." But this is false. ❌️

✔️ Vaccines do not overwhelm a child's immune system. The vaccines kids get are a drop in the ocean compared to what their immune system responds to daily.

While it's true that kids get more vaccine doses than their parents did, this means we can protect against more diseases today than ever before! #MisinformationMonday

Is your child protected from measles?
Measles is very contagious. It can be serious, especially in young kids. In some cases, it can lead to brain swelling and even death. Luckily, the MMR vaccine provides 97% protection against measles!

Vaccine monitoring systems, like the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), are important to flag potential vaccine-related safety issues. But data from VAERS is often misrepresented to scare people. Let us explain:

3. VAERS captures coincidental events, like heart attacks or other illnesses that would have occurred anyway, even if someone hadn't gotten a vaccine. If someone dies in a car accident after a vaccine, the death can be reported in VAERS, even when it's not related to the vaccine.

When people claim that a vaccine has caused "x" number of deaths, this number is often from VAERS. But again, it is not accurate to count every, or even the majority, of VAERS-reported deaths as related to a vaccine.

A misleading rumor is circulating online that Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine can cause hantavirus. It is true that hantavirus is listed as an adverse event for the vaccine, but it is not a side effect. Side effects are things caused by the vaccine itself, like mild fever or sore arm.

The event could be caused by another illness, environmental exposure, or medication. It is correlated with vaccination, not caused by it. Correlation does not equal causation.

The truth is, it is not scientifically possible for COVID vaccines to cause hantavirus. Hantavirus is an entirely different virus from COVID and no part of any hantavirus strains were used to make COVID vaccines.
