Why Get a COVID Vaccine

May 25, 2022

A lot of people are timid about getting the vaccine, but the vaccine helps our bodies develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without us having to get the illness.

  • “COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States are effective at protecting people from getting seriously ill, being hospitalized, and even dying—especially people who are boosted.

  • As with vaccines for other diseases, you are protected best when you stay up to date with the recommended number of doses and boosters.

  • COVID-19 vaccines even offer protection to people who had COVID-19, including protection against being hospitalized from a new infection.

  • COVID-19 vaccines are safe—much safer than getting COVID-19.”
