If mRNA Vaccines are Based on New
Technology, How Do We Know They’re Safe?
1. COVID-19 mRNA vaccine technology has been
rigorously assessed for safety
2. Clinical trials have shown that mRNA vaccines
produce an immune response that has high
efficacy against disease (it works!)
3. mRNA vaccine technology has been studied
for several decades, including in the contexts
of Zika, rabies, and influenza vaccines
4. mRNA vaccines are not live virus vaccines and
do not interfere with human DNA
