There’s a lot of information and misinformation about #COVID19 vaccines out there. Let’s bust some myths and learn some facts about COVID-19 vaccines.

FACT: VAERS is used to monitor the safety of #COVID19 vaccines, but most health problems reported on VAERS soon after vaccination are not actually caused by the vaccine.
