Hello Immunization Partners,

Please share the following information with staff and colleagues.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) V-safe registration is now expanding to include anyone who receives a 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccine.

V-safe enrollment is now currently open for those that receive:

  • 2023-2024 updated COVID-19 vaccine for anyone 6 months and older
  • RSV vaccine for pregnant people:
    • Abrysvo by Pfizer (Abrysvo is the only RSV vaccine recommended during pregnancy)
  • RSV vaccine for older adults, aged 60 years and older:
    • Arexvy by GSK
    • Abrysvo by Pfizer

Participants who enroll in V-safe within 6 weeks of vaccination will receive confidential health check-ins via text message or email to share how they feel after vaccination. V-safe helps CDC let others know what to expect following vaccination and increase confidence in vaccination decisions.

Please encourage vaccine recipients to enroll in V-safe.

  • Ask patients to sign up for V-safe using their smartphone, tablet, or computer at vsafe.cdc.gov.
  • Share V-safe factsheets with instructions on how to register and complete health check-ins.
  • Hang a V-safe poster near vaccination areas.

Thank you for everything you do to protect against vaccine preventable diseases.
