Get the facts! If you have questions about getting COVID-19 vaccine, you should talk to your healthcare providers for advice. Inform your vaccination provider about all your allergies and health conditions. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), vaccination is important and recommended for people with underlying health conditions because they are at an increased risk for severe illness from #COVID19. The list of high-risk medical conditions tha...t put people at increased risk for severe COVID-19-associated illness is updated routinely as new data become available. People shouldn’t get a specific COVID-19 vaccine if they’ve had a severe or immediate allergic reaction to any ingredients in that vaccine. For more information about certain medical conditions, including those that cause weakened immune systems, autoimmune conditions, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and Bell’s palsy, visit https://www.cdc.gov//recommenda/underlying-conditions.html #CDC #PublicHealth #coronavirus #vaccines #NC100BWINC #Walgreens

May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. An #asthma episode can happen any time. Mild symptoms may only last a few minutes while more severe asthma symptoms can last hours or days. Learn more at https://ctt.ec/NG5bd+ via @AAFANational #NC100BWINC #NCBWHealth

Get the facts! Two of the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in the United States use mRNA. mRNA COVID-19 vaccines teach our cells how to make a piece of a protein to trigger an immune response and build immunity to the virus that causes #COVID19. mRNA does not affect or interact with a person’s DNA and the cell breaks down and gets rid of the mRNA as soon as it is finished using the instructions. Learn about mRNA vaccines and how they work: cdc.gov/coronavirus/vaccines #publichealth #CDC #NC100BWINC #Walgreens

Get the Facts! You may have symptoms like a fever after you get a #COVID19 vaccine. This is normal and a sign that your immune system is learning how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19.

Get the facts! How many people need to get a #COVID19 vaccine for population immunity? When enough people in a community are protected from getting a disease because they’ve already had the disease or they’ve been vaccinated that makes it harder for the disease to spread from person to person. This is known as population immunity, and it even protects those who cannot be vaccinated, like newborns. While experts don’t yet know what percentage of people would need to get vaccinated to achieve population immunity, vaccination is a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19.
