Things To Say To Someone Who is Vaccine Hesitant
|
Millions of people in the United States have received the COVID-19 Vaccine and complications are rare. One risk that many associate with the COVID vaccine is Myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. The risk of Myocarditis is low among people who have received the COVID-19 vaccine. Out of 100,000 people vaccinated, 12 people were diagnosed with this condition. Your risk of myocarditis is much higher if you contract COVID-19. Out of 100,000 COVID-19 patients, 132 were diagnosed with myocarditis. Get the vaccine and protect yourself again COVID-19!
