The COVID-19 vaccine is an important tool in ending the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wearing masks and social distancing help reduce your chance of being exposed
to the virus or spreading it to others, but these measures are not enough.
Vaccines will work with your immune system so it will be ready to fight
the virus if you are exposed. The combination of getting vaccinated and
following CDC recommendations to protect yourself and others will offer
the best protection from COVID-19.
Important facts about the COVID-19 vaccine:
Vaccines won’t end the pandemic; other protections will continue.
Please continue to cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others,
stay at least 6 feet away from others, avoid crowds, and wash your hands often.
No vaccine is 100% effective, but this will give us the best COVID-19 protection.
