Vaccine safety continues

V-safe In Other Languages - Partner Communication

Vaccine safety continues to be a top priority at CDC as COVID-19 vaccines are authorized or approved and recommended for use. CDC relies on several systems to monitor vaccine safety including V-safe, a new, smartphone-based tool. V-safe uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after someone receives a COVID-19 vaccination. V-safe allows participants to report side effects after COVID-19 vaccination to CDC in almost real-time and gives users a convenient reminder to get their second COVID-19 vaccine dose if needed.   

V-safe is now available in the following languages below. V-safe participants will receive text messages and web surveys in the language of choice selected during sign-up. 

  • English

  • Korean
