COVID-19 Vaccines: Evidence-Based Answers to the 5 Most Commonly Asked Questions .
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - OE Original
OE Journal. 2021;9(17):3A closer look at current evidence shows that COVID-19 vaccines remain safe and well tolerated, even as long-term safety continues to be monitored.

Fully vaccinated individuals also face lower risks of infection and severe outcomes compared to those unvaccinated or partially vaccinated.

And regardless of vaccine status, relaxing masks or other public-health measures too early—before enough immunity exists in the population—can drive sharp increases in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
