It’s normal to have questions or concerns about vaccines.
There is a lot of information floating around about COVID-19 vaccines, and it’s normal to have questions. Consult reputable sources for accurate information about the vaccines, to help you feel comfortable getting your shot. Here are some ideas:
You’ll save time in the long run by getting vaccinated now.
Life is busy, so it can be easy to put off getting vaccinated. After your shot, some side effects are normal; they are typically mild and go away after a day or two. If you’re unvaccinated, just having close contact with someone with COVID-19 means you need to quarantine for 5 days, even if you don’t get sick. And if you do get sick with COVID-19, the illness can last for days or weeks or even longer! Get vaccinated now so you won’t miss out on work, school, or other activities.
Thank you to all Minnesotans who have been vaccinated.
3.6 million Minnesotans have completed their initial vaccination series. By choosing to get the vaccine, you have helped protect your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers. Thank you for rolling up your sleeves!
We know some people are frustrated that the pandemic continues to have a significant impact on our lives. It’s important that we continue working together to keep each other safe. In addition to getting your vaccine and booster when you’re eligible, please continue to practice additional safety measures. Those include washing your hands frequently, getting tested, wearing masks in crowded settings where social distancing isn’t possible, and staying home when you are feeling sick. To learn more, visit MDH: Protect yourself and others from COVID-19.
More than 25% of eligible Minnesotans are still lacking vaccine protection. You can help others feel more comfortable about getting vaccinated by talking about why you chose to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and sharing information from reliable sources. The Vaccine Advocate Toolkit from Minnesota Department of Health includes valuable information and resources, including fact sheets you can print or share digitally, and ideas for social media posts.
