Newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that around a third of participants who signed up for a voluntary Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine safety monitoring program suffered from significant adverse events, with nearly eight percent of those side effects requiring professional medical care.
The data came from v-safe, a voluntary smartphone-based program created by the CDC specifically to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. To sign up, people simply have to download the app onto their smartphones, register and provide periodic health check-ins after receiving COVID-19 vaccines.
