The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have been administered more than 600 million times in the U.S. and 12 Billion times world wide.

As a result, we have more data and information about these vaccines than any other in human history. [1]

By the Numbers:

  • 610 Million

    More than 610 Million COVID-19 Vaccines have been administered safely in the United States.

  • 12 Billion

    More than 12 Billion COVID-19 Vaccines have been safely administered throughout the world.

  • 50X

    Unvaccinated individuals are 50 times more likely to be hospitalized over the age of 65 from COVID-19.

  • 32X

    Unvaccinated individuals are 32 times more likely to be hospitalized between ages of 50-64 from COVID-19.

  • 90%

    Receiving at least two doses of the mRNA vaccine is associated with a 90% reduction in COVID-19 related ventilation or death.

  • 95%

    Studies have found that the receiving at least two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are 95% effective against COVID-19.

The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines were rigorously tested and approved: 

  • The mRNA technology utilized by COVID-19 vaccines have been in development for more than 20-years. [4]

  • The COVID-19 vaccines had unlimited resources - the most in history - from the United States and governments around the world.

  • The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines have been administered more than 600 million times in the United States and 12 Billion times world wide.

The COVID-19 Vaccines are safe and effective:

  • Studies have found that the two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are 95% effective. [5]

  • Data from tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials show that vaccines are safe with minimal side effects. [6]

  • The FDA and the CDC continue to collect data on more than 610 million doses to date for side effects or safety issues.
