Do COVID-19 Vaccines Increase the Risk of Cardiac Arrest, Stroke, or Cancer?

Despite recent claims circulating on social media, there is no evidence linking COVID-19 vaccines to an increased risk of cardiac arrest, strokes, cancer, or sudden death. According to the CDC, vaccine safety data continue to show that COVID-19 vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent serious illness.

 

Federal agencies, including the CDC and FDA, are closely monitoring vaccine safety and have conducted detailed studies on reported deaths after vaccination. These studies consistently indicate that death rates are higher among unvaccinated individuals. While rare adverse events have been reported, the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination continue to outweigh any potential risks. Learn more from the CDC here.
