Getting the COVID-19 vaccine does not affect the fertility of women who are thinking about getting pregnant.

Women who are pregnant are at increased risk of experiencing a severe case of COVID-19 with serious outcomes for themselves and their baby. If you are pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant, getting vaccinated is the safest way to protect yourself and your baby.

After already having COVID-19, the COVID-19 vaccine does provide the best protection against getting COVID-19, whether you have already had COVID-19 or not.

Choose which statement is correct.

The COVID-19 vaccine will enter my cells and change my DNA.
The COVID-19 vaccine will enter my cells and will not change my DNA.

The messenger RNA does enter cells, but not the nucleus of the cells where DNA resides. The mRNA does its job to cause the cell to make protein to stimulate the immune system, and then it quickly breaks down — without affecting your DNA.

Choose which statement is correct.

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is not among the top 10 threats to Global Health.

Choose which statement is correct.

Community immunity or herd protection does not guarantee protection for unvaccinated children.
Community immunity or herd protection does guarantee protection for unvaccinated children.

Children will not be protected through community immunity if living in an area with low immunization rates. Vaccination rates need to be high for community immunity to work. For example, measles requires an immunization rate of at least 95% to achieve community immunity.

Choose which statement is correct.

Not vaccinating your child for COVID-19 can put your family and others at risk.
Not vaccinating your child for COVID-19 can not put your family and others at risk.

Those most at risk include: newborn babies, people with weakened immune systems and chronic health conditions. High vaccination rates keep vaccine-preventable diseases from spreading. The more people who are vaccinated, the lower the risk for everyone.
