A @CDCMMWR report looking at schools in two AZ counties found that schools w/o a mask requirement were 3.5 times more likely to have a #COVID19 outbreak than schools that required masks from the start of the school year. More: bit.ly/MMWR92421.
A 2nd @CDCMMWR report looking at in-school mask requirements & pediatric #COVID19 rates found increases in rates during start of the 2021–22 school year were smaller in U.S. counties w/ school mask requirements than in those w/o school mask requirements. bit.ly/MMWR92421c.

There’s a lot of information and misinformation about #COVID19 vaccines out there. Let’s bust some myths and learn some facts about COVID-19 vaccines.
FACT: VAERS is used to monitor the safety of #COVID19 vaccines, but most health problems reported on VAERS soon after vaccination are not actually caused by the vaccine.

More on VAERS: bit.ly/3gFcDhq.
FACT: #COVID19 vaccines don't change or interact with your DNA in any way. These vaccines deliver instructions to teach your body to build protection against COVID-19, but the material never interacts with your DNA.

Have questions about how viral vector vaccines protect you against #COVID19?
They teach your body how to recognize the virus that causes COVID-19. If you are exposed to the virus later, your body will know how to fight it off. Learn more: bit.ly/31sDVjD.
A viral vector vaccine uses a harmless version of a different virus to deliver information to your body that helps it protect you. The vaccine does not contain the virus that causes #COVID19 and cannot give you COVID-19. Learn more: bit.ly/31sDVjD.
If you are exposed to the real #COVID19 virus after being vaccinated, your body sees these proteins and tells your immune system to fight the virus. Learn more: bit.ly/31sDVjD.

Have questions on how mRNA vaccines protect against #COVID19?

The mRNA in #COVID19 vaccines has information to teach your body how to fight the virus. The vaccine does not contain live virus, so it can’t give you COVID-19. It cannot change your DNA. More: bit.ly/3qAVLM0
mRNA vaccines teach our cells how to make a protein that triggers an immune response to #COVID19 inside our bodies. The immune response makes antibodies that protect us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies. More: bit.ly/3qAVLM0.
If you are exposed to the real #COVID19 virus after being vaccinated, your body recognizes these proteins and tells your immune system to fight the virus. Learn more: bit.ly/3qAVLM0.
