The vaccines were created using scientific methods and processes developed and tested over decades, and have gone through extensive safety testing.
The vaccines do not cause infection, but may cause a sore arm, 轻微的发烧, or body aches for one or two days following a shot. The vaccines do not contain live viruses.
This includes from variants such as Delta or Mu. If you do get infected, the vaccines prevent serious illness and death.
Clinical trial participants included people of color, 老年人, 肥胖的, and other vulnerable populations, to ensure the vaccines’ safety throughout the general populace.
Allergies to foods, 昆虫, 乳胶, or other substances do not affect the vaccines’ efficacy or safety.
People of color are especially vulnerable to severe COVID-19 infections. Generational health inequities have caused Black, Latinx, and other communities of color to experience more severe COVID-19 symptoms and deaths.
The vaccines offer longer, stronger protection than your natural immunity.
Every COVID-19 infection gives the virus a chance to mutate (change form) to survive—the more vaccinations, the less chance of variants springing up.
当然, the best way to stop the spread is to get vaccinated and practice safe behaviors (hand washing, 戴着面具, social distancing, 等.).
然而, unvaccinated pregnant people are vulnerable to serious COVID-19 infections, which can harm the baby.
The longer it takes for the community to get vaccinated, the more the virus can spread or mutate into new variants. The sooner you get vaccinated, the sooner you and the entire community are protected.
There is a lot of misinformation out there that deliberately distorts the facts about the vaccines. Use only reliable sources for re搜索. Talk to those who have already been vaccinated about their experiences, so you can be confident and make the most informed decision.
基督教社会联盟DH falls under the Los Angeles 县 Department of Public 健康's vaccination distribution.
