Let’s All Get Vaccinated
Vaccines are one of the tools we have to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Over 338 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through July 22, 2021. • Vaccines are one of the most effective tool to protect your health and prevent disease. Vaccines work with your body’s natural defenses so your body will be ready to fight the virus, if they you are exposed (also called immunity). • Studies have shown the COVID 19 vaccinations are safe, effective, & it’s free. • Different types of vaccines are available. Most vaccines are given in two shots, one at a time and spaced apart. If you are told that you need two shots make sure that you get both. • The vaccines may cause side mild effects in some people, like sore muscles, feeling tired, or mild fever. These reactions mean that the vaccine is working to help teach your body how to fight COVID-19 if you are exposed. Most side effects will not last more than a day or two. • COVID-19 Variants are present in the community and the unvaccinated are at risk of getting sick and being hospitalized. • Please consider getting vaccinated so that we can protect all of the children that cannot be vaccinated.
If you need assistance scheduling a vaccination or you need transportation to an appointment, please call 315-867-1121
