{"content":[{"text":"QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS \n HERE IS WHAT EXPERTS SAY \n ABOUT COVID-19 VACCINES \n Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe? \n Yes. In clinical trials, both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were shown to be safe \n and greater than 94% effective at preventing symptoms and decreasing severe \n COVID-19 infection among study volunteers. \n Can a COVID -19 vaccine make me sick with COVID -19? \n No. None of the FDA authorized COVID-19 vaccines or COVID-19 vaccines \n currently in development in the United States contain the live virus that causes \n COVID-19. This means that a COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with \n COVID-19. \n If I have already had COVID -19 and recovered, do I still need to get \n vaccinated with a COVID -19 vaccine? \n Yes. Due to the severe health risks associated with COVID-19 and the fact that \n reinfection with COVID-19 is possible, you should get the vaccine even if you \n already had COVID-19 infection. \n Will the COVID -19 vaccine protect me from getting sick with \n COVID -19? \n Yes. The COVID-19 vaccine works by teaching your immune system how to \n recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from \n getting sick with COVID-19. \n Being protected from getting sick is important because even though many people \n with COVID-19 have only a mild illness, others may get a severe illness, have long- \n term health effects, or even die. There is no way to know how COVID-19 will affect \n you, even if you don’t have an increased risk of developing severe complications.","bbox":{"left":0.344444,"top":0.038653,"width":0.591587,"height":0.534932}},{"text":"3 ways to \n get reliable \n information \n about COVID -19 \n vaccines \n Talk to your doctor.
