Anaphylaxis after vaccination remains rare No signal of association with serious events like Guillain-Barre or encephalitis, or even other things like Bell’s palsy or appendicitis(2/)
injection site pain, fatigue, chills are common.
However, it is important to look at the randomized studies where the baseline rate of some of these in the placebo arm was 20 to 30%! good reminder that the baseline incidence of these things are not zero(3/)

There have been concerns about deaths in the very elderly after news reports from Norway, sometimes for getting the baseline mortality in this vulnerable population
these data show no signal of 
mortality s/p vaccine (4/)

The bottom line here is
they are systematically collecting data (good!)
The vaccine continues to appear safe
We will eventually have lots of data on the pregnant population (But shows why we should have been included earlier) (5/5)
