Between 15 December 2021 and 2 February 2022, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has received and analysed 18,263 Yellow Card reports concerning the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine; 3,214 Yellow Card reports concerning the AstraZeneca vaccine; and 10,582 Yellow Card reports concerning the Moderna vaccine.

The MHRA publishes weekly information on adverse reactions reported following COVID-19 vaccination in the United Kingdom vaccination programme, which is available at the following link:

The MHRA has no plans to share the assessment of individual reports with the individual patient. The MHRA’s assessment takes into account the totality of information available from Yellow Cards as well as other relevant data sources to ensure robust regulatory actions.
