Why Should I Get Vaccinated?
- Getting a vaccine is one more tool you can use to protect yourself and your loved ones. Once you’ve been vaccinated, you have the upper hand against the virus, because it means that even if you are exposed, you have a very low risk of getting COVID-19. In the rare instance that you do still contract the virus, it won’t be as severe.
- If you are still deciding if you want to get a COVID-19 vaccine, JCPH has information to help. See the CDC Authorizations [external link] with information about the benefits of getting vaccinated and answers to frequently asked questions.
