3 reports published in today’s @CDCMMWR highlight the importance of prevention measures in schools to protect students and staff AND keep schools open. Follow the thread to learn more ⬇️
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.
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.
DYK? Everyone 12 years and older is now eligible to get a #COVID19 vaccine. Have your family #SleeveUp 💪 for their vaccine as soon as they can and join millions of others across the United States in helping to stop the pandemic. More: bit.ly/3uFSUUu.
Help protect your family by planning to get everyone who’s eligible vaccinated against COVID-19 as soon as you can. More: bit.ly/3uFSUUu.

Of nearly 7 million doses of J&J/Janssen #COVID19 Vaccine given in the US, a small number of cases of a rare & severe type of blood clot have been reported in people after receiving the vaccine. CDC & @US_FDA recommend a pause as we review data. More: bit.ly/3acYSnz
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is reviewing the reported J&J/Janssen #COVID19 Vaccine adverse events and determining next steps. Here is what you need to know: bit.ly/3acYSnz
#COVID19 vaccine safety systems like the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) are working. This potential safety issue was caught, and this pause reflects our commitment to transparency as CDC and @US_FDA review the data. Learn more: bit.ly/3acYSnz
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.
