Vaccine safety

The UK has some of the highest safety standards in the world.

Vaccines are only used if they are approved by the MHRA. The MHRA has been monitoring every stage of coronavirus vaccine development.

Coronavirus vaccines that have been approved have gone through all the clinical trials and safety checks all other licensed medicines go through.

So far, thousands of people have been given a coronavirus vaccine and no serious side effects or complications have been reported.

Who will get the vaccine

At first, the vaccine is being offered to people who are most at risk from coronavirus, before being offered more widely.

The vaccine will first be offered to:

people who live in care homes and care home workers

people aged 80 and over

health and social care workers in England
