3) UK report emphasizes: “On the basis of this ongoing review, the benefits of the vaccines against COVID-19 continue to outweigh any risks and you should continue to get your vaccine when invited to do so.”
4) “Conclusion: The increases in number of ADR reports reflects the increase in vaccine deployment as new vaccination centres have opened

The number and nature of suspected adverse reactions reported so far are not unusual in comparison to other types of routinely used vaccines
5) “The overall safety experience with both vaccines is so far as expected from the clinical trials

Based on current experience, the expected benefits of both COVID-19 vaccines in preventing COVID-19 and its serious complications far outweigh any known side effects

2) the Brazil-origin 🇧🇷 variant #P1 is extremely aggressive. It is 2-2.5x faster transmission, studies show, has some potential reinfection risk, and some early evidence it’s maybe more severe. #P1 is a major problem. ?
3) This is just how aggressive #P1 is in BC 🇨🇦 — sickened a team of young professional hockey players very fast. ?

Epidemiologist Dr. @larrybrilliant, who led smallpox global eradication, expressed concerns over new #SARSCoV2 variants and stressed need for a plan in addition to vaccines. “I’m quite worried—We seem to be getting variants of concern almost every week”.🧵

2) A coronavirus strain that originated in South Africa, for example, renders the AstraZeneca vaccine 90% ineffective, Brilliant pointed out. A variant first seen in Brazil can allow reinfection, and one that emerged in the United Kingdom is more transmissible.
3) “I do think we have to have a backup plan in addition to vaccinating everybody as fast as we can—get really much better at outbreak containment, detection, finding, isolating, & vaccinating them with the vaccine that matches the variant that our genomics tells us they have.”
