The number of reported post-vaccination adverse events and deaths hasn’t changed federal officials’ view on the safety of the two authorized COVID-19 vaccines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Feb. 1.

After receiving one of the vaccines, 288 people have died, according to reports submitted to the passive Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. More than 3,000 patients have suffered adverse events after getting one of the vaccines.
