It explains that COVID-19 is a new disease caused by a novel coronavirus that can cause mild to severe illness or death, especially in older or medically vulnerable people. The virus spreads mainly through close contact with infected individuals. Vaccine hesitancy is common due to the speed of vaccine development and concerns about safety, side effects, and long-term protection. However, the document asserts that approved COVID-19 vaccines are considered safe and effective based on rigorous clinical trials and FDA oversight, and that healthcare experts can be trusted regarding vaccine safety. It encourages leaders to share their own positive vaccination experiences to promote confidence in the vaccines.

    Education
    WHAT IS
    COVID-19?
    COVID-19 is a new disease, caused by a novel (or new)
    coronavirus that has not previously been seen in humans.
    Because it is a new virus, scientists are learning more
    each day. Although most people who have COVID-19
    have mild symptoms, COVID-19 can also cause severe
    illness and even death. Some groups, including older
    adults and people who have certain underlying medical
    conditions, are at increased risk of severe illness.
    HOW DOES IT
    SPREAD?
    COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly through close
    contact from person to person, including between
    people who are physically near each other (within
    about 6 feet). People who are infected but do not
    show symptoms can also spread the virus to others.
    Cases of reinfection with COVID-19 have been
    reported but are rare. We are still learning about how
    the virus spreads and the severity of illness it causes.

    - Currently approved COVID-19 vaccines are
    considered to be safe and effective.
    - Most side effects occur within 6 weeks of
    someone getting the vaccine. FDA has
    required 8 weeks of safety monitoring.
    - FDA advises a minimum of 3,000 participants to
    assess safety. Current studies
    have 30,000 to 50,000 participants.
    - This demonstrates how safety is a top priority for
    the FDA and the
    healthcare community.
    Should we Trust the Healthcare
    System about
    COVID-19 Vaccine Safety?

    - YES
    - The FDA is using the same
    standards as it has for years.
    - There are no steps being ‘skipped’
    in vaccine development or safety
    evaluation.
    Keep In Mind:

    You are the leader and role model!

    Tell your own vaccine story.

    Talk about how you felt, if any side effects, that they only lasted for a few
    days after the vaccine.
    THANK YOU!
