Key things to know

  • 1 COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. In fact, ONU graduates worked on the trials to make sure they are just that.
  • 2. You may have side effects after vaccination, but these are normal.
  • 3. It typically takes two weeks after you are fully vaccinated for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19.
  • 4 People who have been fully vaccinated can start to do some things that they had stopped doing because of the pandemic.

Trust evidence, not myths

The better you educate yourself on the vaccine; the more confident you will be on making a decision. Read evidence and not myths. Call the ONU HealthWise Pharmacy to talk to a professional who has followed the evidence for the vaccine.

• COVID-19 vaccination is an important tool to help stop the pandemic.
• COVID-19 vaccination helps protect people from getting sick or severely ill and might also help protect people around them.
• To receive the most protection, people should receive all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.

If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine?
YES, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19.

Can a COVID-19 vaccine make me sick with COVID-19?
NO. Neither the recently authorized and recommended vaccines nor the other COVID-19 vaccines currently in clinical trials in the United States can cause you to test positive on viral tests, which are used to see if you have a current infection.

Will a COVID-19 vaccine alter my DNA?
NO. COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way. There are currently two types of COVID-19 vaccines that have been authorized for use in the United States: messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines and viral vector vaccines. The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines, which teach our cells how to make a protein that triggers an immune response. Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is a viral vector vaccine.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, but...

Ohio still has a long way to go before we reach the level to lift restrictions and the CDC continues to recommend safe practices including masks, social distancing, handwashing and reducing exposure to crowds.
