What is V-safe?

V-safe is a safety monitoring system that vaccine recipients can use to share with CDC how they feel after vaccination. It was created initially for COVID-19 vaccines. Currently, recipients of RSV vaccines also may register for V-safe. To learn more about the program and how to guide vaccine recipients who wish to participate, visit CDC’s website: www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety-systems/v-safe/index.html.
