Why get vaccinated?

There are many reasons why someone may choose to get vaccinated and there are many reasons why people may have questions about vaccines. Explore some considerations below: 
 

  • You’re due for your seasonal vaccines! Immune protection from vaccination declines over time. Each year, updated formulas for flu and COVID-19 vaccines are released that provide new protection against current, dominant strains of the virus. Stay up-to-date 

  • Vaccines reduce your risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death

  • Vaccines protect against long-term health complications

  • Because vaccines protect against severe and long-term illness, they can save you recovery time – getting you back to class, back to socializing, exercising, and living your life on your terms

Can I still catch COVID or the flu after vaccination?

Yes. It is still possible to catch and transmit the flu and COVID-19 after vaccination, but getting vaccinated significantly lowers your risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and long-term complications related to infection. Additional layers of protection can be implemented to prevent you from getting sick and spreading illness, including wearing a well-fitted face mask or respirator, covering your cough, increasing outdoor air flow, and washing your hands. 

If you are experiencing symptoms or have been exposed to someone who is sick, consider wearing a mask to prevent the spread, and come in to Boynton’s Urgent Care, Gopher Quick Clinic, or make an appointment with your primary care doctor.
