debunking-myths-about-covid-19-vaccines

Although some time has passed since the first outbreak of COVID and the introduction of immunizations against it, there are still many people who have doubts about vaccines.

False information also often gets in the way of people being up to date with their vaccines. That’s where we can help! Here at Zara Pharmacy, part of our goals as a high-quality pharmacy in South Richmond Hill, New York, is to guide our community on all things related to their health and safety.

With that being said, allow us to debunk common myths about COVID-19 vaccines:

  • The natural immunity I get from being sick with COVID-19 is better than the immunity I get from the COVID-19 vaccination.

    Getting a Covid vaccine is a more reliable and safer strategy to establish immunity. One study showed that those who have once had COVID-19 are more than twice as likely to develop it again if they do not get completely vaccinated following their recovery.

  • COVID-19 vaccines cause variants.

    COVID-19 vaccinations do not produce or induce variations of the virus responsible for COVID-19. Instead, they can help prevent the emergence of new variations.

  • A COVID-19 vaccine can make me sick with COVID-19.

    None of the approved COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. Thus, the vaccine cannot get you sick with it. Although they can cause symptoms such as fever, these are normal and indicate that the body is developing defenses against the virus.
