One common misconception is avoiding the vaccine and opting to get the virus instead.
Others include:
·Should I be vaccinated if I had COVID? Yes. Vaccination can offer protection from re-infection. You can wait for 90 days following a positive COVID test if you would like. Vaccination can prevent you from transmitting the disease to others.
·Are there serious risks to vaccinations? No. While very uncommon, anaphylactic reactions have occurred following the vaccination, which is why is it requested to remain on site for monitoring following an injection. Over 167 million doses have been administered worldwide with very few serious reactions.
·Does the COVID vaccine cause infertility? No. This is a false claim and there is no evidence that COVID vaccine can lead to infertility. Information about this false claim can be reviewed in a NDDOH document found on the CVHD website at https://bit.ly/2OxXmVs.
