Help PMC address the misinformation about vaccine side effects

Getting Michiganders, in every single community across the state, the most accurate up-to-date information about the approved COVID-19 vaccine is top priority for the Protect Michigan Commission.

Unfortunately, there’s a lot of misinformation and myths circulating online and by word of mouth that may be causing vaccine hesitation. It’s important that we all work together to keep our families and friends safe and healthy by knowing the facts.

You have the platforms and connections into the community to help us combat this misinformation.

So this week, can you help us get the facts out vaccine side effects?

Please share this graphic with your networks and let them know that side effects are mild and in fact, a really good sign that your body is working to build immunity to COVID-19. Further, because the vaccines do not contain the COVID-19 virus, you cannot get sick from the vaccine itself.

After COVID-19 vaccination, you may have some mild side effects. Side effects are a normal sign that your body is building protection. For more information on the vaccine and potential side effects visit Michigan.gov/COVIDvaccine.
