CDC and FDA identified 39 confirmed reports of people who got the J&amp;J\/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and later developed TTS. Women younger than 50 years old especially should be aware of the rare but increased risk of this adverse event. There are other COVID-19 vaccine options available for which this risk has not been seen.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/safety\/JJUpdate.html\">Learn more about J&amp;J\/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and TTS.<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li>To date, two confirmed cases of TTS following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Moderna) have been reported to VAERS after more than 324 million doses of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/different-vaccines\/mRNA.html\">mRNA COVID-19 vaccines<\/a> administered in the United States. Based on available data, there is not an increased risk for TTS after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>CDC and FDA are monitoring reports of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccinesafety\/concerns\/guillain-barre-syndrome.html\">Guillain-Barr\u00e9 Syndrome<\/a>\u00a0(GBS) in people who have received the J&amp;J\/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. GBS is a rare disorder where the body\u2019s immune system damages nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis. Most people fully recover from GBS, but some have permanent nerve damage. After 12.8 million J&amp;J\/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine doses administered, there have been around 100 preliminary reports\u00a0of\u00a0GBS identified in VAERS as of July 12. These cases have largely been reported about 2 weeks after vaccination and mostly in men, many 50 years and older. CDC will continue to monitor for and evaluate reports of GBS occurring after COVID-19 vaccination and will share more information as it becomes available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination are rare.\u00a0<\/strong>As of July 19, 2021, VAERS has received 1,148 \u00a0reports of myocarditis or pericarditis among people ages 30 and younger who received COVID-19 vaccine. Most cases have been reported after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), particularly in male adolescents and young adults. Through follow-up, including medical record reviews, CDC and FDA have confirmed 674 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis. CDC and its partners are investigating these reports to assess whether there is a relationship to COVID-19 vaccination. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/safety\/myocarditis.html\">Learn more about COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reports of death after COVID-19 vaccination are rare<\/strong>.
