Why should you get vaccinated?

• Helps protect you from getting COVID-19
• But can’t I still get COVID-19 if I am vaccinated? Yes. The vaccine works very well but it is not 100% effective (only 95%). If you have COVID-19 symptoms, please get tested as soon as possible.
• Prevents severe illness if you get COVID-19
• Helps protect people around you from getting COVID-19.
• If you get COVID-19, you also risk giving it to loved ones who may get very sick. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safer choice.
• Protects older adults 65 years old and older
• Protects people who are high-risk for severe illness
• The vaccine won’t give you COVID-19
• The vaccine doesn’t have the virus that causes COVID-19
• But I had COVID-19, why do I need to get the vaccine? Because, people who have recently had COVID-19 appear to be protected from re-infection for at least 3 months.  The vaccine will increase your immunity for a longer period of time.
• Will the vaccine give me COVID-19? The vaccine will not give you COVID-19, but you may experience an immune response (short-term side-effects). This can include pain at the injection site, fever, muscle aches and pains, headache and fatigue – similar to side effects experienced by those who receive the annual flu vaccination. Side-effects are usually mild, wear off after a couple of days, and can be alleviated with medications like acetaminophen.
• Who should get vaccinated? The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends everyone 12 years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccination to help protect against the virus.
