COVID-19 VACCINE
Covid-19 can have serious, life-threatening complications, and there is no way to know how Covid-19 will affect you. And if you get sick, you could spread the disease to friends, family, and others around you.
Clinical trials of all vaccines must first show they are safe and effective before any vaccine can be authorized or approved for use, including Covid-19 vaccines. The known and potential benefits of a Covid-19 vaccine must outweigh the known and potential risks of the vaccine for use under what is know as an Emergency Use Authorization.
Getting Covid-19 may offer some natural protection, known as immunity. Current evidence suggests that reinfection with the virus that causes Covid-19 is uncommon in the 90 days after initial infection. However, experts don’t know for sure how long this protection lasts, and the risk of severe illness and death from Covid-19 far outweighs any benefits of natural immunity. Covid-19 vaccination will help protect you by creating an antibody (immune system) response without having to experience sickness.
Both natural immunity and immunity produced by a vaccine are important parts of covid-19 disease that experts are trying to learn more about, and CDC will keep the public informed as new evidence becomes available.
The Barber County Health Department is currently giving Covid-19 immunizations. We are getting vaccine in weekly, and trying to work our way through our list of people that want the vaccine. If you would like to be on our list, please give us a call at 886-3294. Our helpful staff will try to get you in as soon as possible. There is no charge for the vaccine.
