Of nearly 7 million doses of J&J/Janssen #COVID19 Vaccine given in the US, a small number of cases of a rare & severe type of blood clot have been reported in people after receiving the vaccine. CDC & @US_FDA recommend a pause as we review data. More: bit.ly/3acYSnz
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is reviewing the reported J&J/Janssen #COVID19 Vaccine adverse events and determining next steps. Here is what you need to know: bit.ly/3acYSnz
#COVID19 vaccine safety systems like the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) are working. This potential safety issue was caught, and this pause reflects our commitment to transparency as CDC and @US_FDA review the data. Learn more: bit.ly/3acYSnz

Have questions about how viral vector vaccines protect you against #COVID19?
They teach your body how to recognize the virus that causes COVID-19. If you are exposed to the virus later, your body will know how to fight it off. Learn more: bit.ly/31sDVjD.
A viral vector vaccine uses a harmless version of a different virus to deliver information to your body that helps it protect you. The vaccine does not contain the virus that causes #COVID19 and cannot give you COVID-19. Learn more: bit.ly/31sDVjD.
If you are exposed to the real #COVID19 virus after being vaccinated, your body sees these proteins and tells your immune system to fight the virus. Learn more: bit.ly/31sDVjD.

Have questions on how mRNA vaccines protect against #COVID19?

The mRNA in #COVID19 vaccines has information to teach your body how to fight the virus. The vaccine does not contain live virus, so it can’t give you COVID-19. It cannot change your DNA. More: bit.ly/3qAVLM0
mRNA vaccines teach our cells how to make a protein that triggers an immune response to #COVID19 inside our bodies. The immune response makes antibodies that protect us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies. More: bit.ly/3qAVLM0.
If you are exposed to the real #COVID19 virus after being vaccinated, your body recognizes these proteins and tells your immune system to fight the virus. Learn more: bit.ly/3qAVLM0.

New @CDCMMWR shows COVID-19 antigen tests can be fast and inexpensive but sometimes require a second test to confirm the result. Protect others until your test result is confirmed. Learn more: bit.ly/MMWR123120. Image
HCPs: A recent @CDCMMWR found that antigen tests were less accurate than RT-PCR tests in correctly identifying people with #COVID19. Learn more: bit.ly/MMWR123120. Image
However, the report also shows that people with no symptoms with negative antigen test results are unlikely to have COVID-19 and generally do not require further testing. Image
