Covid19 vaccines were a true breakthrough, the result of dazzling scientific progress, significant investment, and plain old good fortune. The vaccines are safer and more effective than many public health professionals hoped for at the beginning of the pandemic. Covid vaccines were ready quickly, but not hurriedly — no safety corners were cut in the development of these vaccines. Massive investment and more than 20 years of research on mRNA technology have brought us to this point
Although vaccination can help us gain an advantage over the virus, we still face significant challenges. The first is a lack of access — there simply isn't enough vaccine to meet global demand, and, unfortunately, we're about to hit a dry spell in the coming months, just as the disease is roaring back in many parts of the world.
Expanding vaccination access will go a long way toward reaching the unvaccinated, but we must also address the questions and concerns that are preventing some people from getting vaccinated. It's natural to have questions, and we should treat everyone who has them with dignity. This entails meeting people where they are, listening to their concerns, and doing our best to address them. These facts about Covid vaccines may (hopefully) help you or a loved one, friend, or acquaintance make the decision to get vaccinated.
Facts About Covid19 Related Vaccines
1. The risks of infection far outweigh the risks of vaccination. Covid infection can cause severe illness, death, or long-term harm in otherwise healthy young people. Many people suffer from "long Covid" symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, headaches, loss of taste and smell, shortness of breath, joint or muscle pain, depression and anxiety, and other symptoms. Our team recently published an in-depth look at what we know about long Covid.
2. Almost every doctor who was offered a Covid vaccine accepted it as soon as they could. Doctors and other healthcare providers understand the science behind the vaccines, and many have been deeply affected by caring for Covid patients who became very ill or died.
3.The more of us who get vaccinated, the sooner we will be able to reclaim our jobs and our economy. Places with lower vaccine coverage are more likely to experience Covid clusters and possibly outbreaks, especially as more contagious variants spread, causing further disruption to society.
