Fighting Back Against COVID-19
The past year has been hard on all of us. Between living day-to-day not knowing how to protect ourselves from COVID-19, being isolated from friends and family, and not knowing when life would return to normal – it felt like we lost a year of our lives.
What if we told you that the end is in sight and there’s a way to get your life back on track. Researchers from around the globe, including many who look like us, spent months developing and testing a vaccine to protect us from COVID-19 and spreading it on to others. Learn more about what’s possible through getting vaccinated and the options available to you.

Is the Vaccine Right for Me? Is it Safe?
Vaccines have been around for centuries. In fact, the first vaccine used in the world was created to stop the spread of smallpox. Thanks to the adoption of that vaccine, our bodies have been able to develop a resistance to the virus making it far less of a public health threat today than it was in the 1700s.
The same is possible with the COVID-19 vaccine.
In fact, millions of people have already been vaccinated and Black and Brown people made up 1 in 3 of the vaccine trial participants. It was also tested on people with existing health conditions and people of all ages and determined safe to be used.
Even if you’re already had COVID, studies show that getting vaccinated can prevent you from getting infected again and protect you from serious symptoms.
As of May 2021, the CDC and FDA have determined that the vaccine is safe for people under 18 and it is now available to children 12 to 15 years old.
If you’re interested in getting vaccinated there are three options for you:
- Moderna
- Pfizer
- Johnson & Johnson
What’s in the Vaccine?
If you’re worried about the COVID-19 vaccine giving you COVID, you don’t have to. The vaccine was developed without using the live virus to avoid causing serious illness and reactions. In fact, the most common side effects of this vaccine are pain where patients receive an injection, fatigue, and headaches. Prior to receiving a vaccine, you are asked about your allergies to avoid serious reactions and each person is monitored closely for 15 to 20 minutes after each dose.
