From the sibling comment link I would say, yes: 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Management of Acute Allergic Reactions Appropriate medical treatment to manage immediate allergic reactions must be immediately available in the event an acute anaphylactic reaction occurs following administration of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Monitor Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine recipients for the occurrence of immediate adverse reactions according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/managing-anaphylaxis.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-consideration...). 5.2 Myocarditis and Pericarditis Postmarketing data with authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly within the first week following vaccination. For Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, the observed risk is highest in males 18 years through 24 years of age. Although some cases required intensive care support, available data from short-term follow-up suggest that most individuals have had resolution of symptoms with conservative management. Information is not yet available about potential long-term sequelae. The CDC has published considerations related to myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, including for vaccination of individuals with a history of myocarditis or pericarditis (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/myocarditis.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-consideration...). 5.3 Syncope Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting. 5.4 Altered Immunocompetence Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished response to Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. 5.5 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine may not protect all vaccine recipients.

  Those last two points are why it is was the right thing to do for ostensibly healthy people to get vaccinated. Because there are people we know it doesn't work for and people we don't know it doesn't work for.

    How did that make it "the right thing to do" for healthy people to take the COVID shots? Given their extremely poor effectiveness against transmission, the odds of the groups in those last two points eventually being infected with SARS-CoV-2 were no different with vaccine uptake at 60% or 90% or 99%. What, then, is accomplished by forcing healthy adolescents (for example) to take these shots?

      I lost track of COVID research in the past two years. Can you please provide me some good articles about bad transmission effectiveness? I’ve seen this mentioned many times here, but my search seems contradict to that: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10073587/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10073587/

        Conflicting papers have been published on transmission effectiveness. Everyone believes whatever they want. “Similarly, researchers in California observed no major differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals in terms of SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in the nasopharynx, even in those with proven asymptomatic infection. Thus, the current evidence suggests that current mandatory vaccination policies might need to be reconsidered, and that vaccination status should not replace mitigation practices such as mask wearing, physical distancing, and contact-tracing investigations, even within highly vaccinated populations.” https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-30992100768-4/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...
