Vaccination is the way out of this pandemic. Five facts about Covid vaccines:

The risks of infection are vastly higher than the risks of vaccination. Even healthy young people can become severely ill, die, or suffer long-term harm from Covid infection.

Covid vaccines prime your immune system to fight the virus, then disappear. They don't stay in your body.

The overwhelming majority of doctors offered a Covid vaccine have gotten it as soon as they could.

The more people vaccinated, the faster we’ll get back our jobs and economy.

Vaccinations have already saved least 40,000 lives in the US—and can save at least 100,000 more in the coming months. Get vaccinated when it's your turn!
