Vaccination Related Risks of COVID19 Vs. Flu

These set of figures compare the COVID19 vaccine to the traditional Flu vaccines. ‘Risk of Death’ percentages depend on the ‘# of Vaccinations’ data, which is only approximate, and was pulled from the CDC’s report on Flu vaccination coverage for the 2019-2020 season, and from Our World in Data for the COVID19 vaccinations.

Covid19 vaccinations through 5/31/2021 vs. Flu vaccinations 7/1/2019 – 5/31/2020 (last complete flu season)

Vaccine Type	# of Vaccinations	# of Deaths	Risk of Death	Percentage
Flu	167,447,642^[1]	91	1 in 1,840,083	0.000054%
COVID19	167,733,972^[2]	8,451	1 in 19,848	0.005038%

Risk of dying from COVID vaccine is 92.7 times greater than Flu Vaccine

Vaccine Type	# of Vaccinations	# of Adverse Reactions	Risk of Adverse Reaction	Percentage
Flu	167,447,642	10,448	1 in 16,027	0.006231%
COVID19	167,733,972	421,725	1 in 398	0.2514%

Risk of adverse reaction from COVID vaccine is 40.3 times greater than Flu Vaccine
