Why is the Risk of Paralysis from Vaccines So Low?
The risk of paralysis from vaccines is minimal due to rigorous clinical trials and vaccine safety monitoring mechanisms. Before a vaccine is approved for public use, it undergoes extensive testing to ensure its safety and efficacy. Post-licensure surveillance systems, such as the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the United States, continually monitor vaccine safety and investigate any reports of serious adverse events.
