Common Myths
MYTH: A young and healthy person shouldn't get a vaccine
While the COVID-19 virus affects older or immunocompromised people more, no one should ever take the risk as the virus does not discriminate. A younger person in perfect health can be affected by COVID-19 in the worst ways, including death. We encourage any and every one above 16 years old to schedule their vaccination.
