Covid vaccines: proven to reduce risk of hospitalizations, deaths and long covid.
Myocarditis and pericarditis are rarely observed after COVID-19 vaccination. The risk of myocarditis is greater with a natural Covid infection.
Risk of the Covid vaccine: In clinical trials, most local and systemic post-vaccination reactions were mild to moderate, fever, body aches, and resolved in 1–3 days.
Individual decision-making – the choice to vaccinate is made between you and your healthcare professional, based on personal risks and benefits.
Many professional organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, (AAP), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and the American Academy of Family Physicians, (AAFP), and the American Medical Association, encourage vaccination.
The key recommendations across these organizations include:
- Babies and young children ages 6 to 23 months: Both the AAP and AAFP recommend vaccination for this age group since they’re considered at higher risk for severe COVID-19.
- Children ages 2 to 18 years with risk factors: Vaccination is recommended for children with chronic conditions, weakened immune systems, or other risk factors. This also includes children who’ve never received a COVID-19 vaccine.
- Children ages 2 to 18 years without risk factors: COVID-19 vaccines should be available for children whose parent or guardian wants them to be protected.
- Adults ages 18 and older: COVID-19 vaccines should be available for those who choose to get them. AAFP recommends vaccination for all adults, especially those ages 65 and older or at higher risk of severe COVID-19.
- Pregnant women: AAFP and ACOG recommend COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy to protect both the mother and baby. Infants under 6 months have the highest risk of hospitalization from COVID-19 among children, but they can’t be vaccinated themselves. They receive protective antibodies (immune cells) when their mother is vaccinated during pregnancy.
In Michigan, insurance covers COVID & flu vaccines.
ONE AND DONE! Some people get their annual Flu and Covid shots at the same time. Most people have a mild response – slight fever, and pain at the injection sites. Other people prefer to get their shots separately because they’ve had a strong immune response in the past to a vaccine: fever, chills, aching, headache. They prefer to have milder responses on two separate days. It’s a personal choice. Both ways are fine, and don’t affect your immune protection.
