REAL FACTS:

Educating our community about the COVID-19 vaccine and booster:

• The Pfizer vaccine is safe and effective in preventing serious illness caused by COVID-19, making the Pfizer vaccine fully FDA

approved for ages 12+.

• Emergency use authorization (EUA) continues for ages 18+ by Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. • The CDC recommends booster shots for select recipients of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, six months after completing vaccination. • Eligibility includes those ages 65+ and those ages 18-64 with underlying health conditions or at high risk for occupational or institutional exposure. • There are now booster recommendations for all three available COVID-19 vaccines in the United States. Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a booster dose. CDC’s recommendations now allow for this type of mix and match dosing for booster shots. • ChapCare is committed to Improving vaccine confidence with a public education campaign in partnership with local and regional community partners and leaders achieving equitable conditions for health. • Available data show that all three of the COVID-19 vaccines approved or authorized in the United States continue to be highly effective in reducing risk of severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even against the widely circulating Delta variant.

Data shows COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective

CDC Real Facts to Know:

• Pregnant and recently pregnant people are more likely to get severely ill with COVID-19 compared with non-pregnant people. • COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant now, or might become pregnant in the future. • Evidence about the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy has been growing. This data suggests that the benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine outweigh any known or potential risks of vaccination during pregnancy. • There is currently no evidence that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems in women or men.

COVID-19 vaccination given to children ages 5 to 11 years is effective in preventing COVID-19. • FDA authorization of at least one of the coronavirus vaccines for children in this age group is expected in the coming weeks.
