Dear
Thank you for your email. The MHRA continually monitors safety during widespread use of a vaccine. We also work closely with our public health partners in reviewing the effectiveness and impact of the vaccines to ensure the benefits continue to outweigh any possible side effects.
There is no evidence so far based on our analysis of reports and trends of ADR reporting to suggest any serious long term side effects to the COVID-19 vaccines. For further information on our review of the safety of COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy, and COVID-19 vaccines and menstrual disorders, please see our weekly publication on coronavirus vaccine ADR data:
Kind regards,
FOI Team
