Myth: COVID-19 might make me sick, but hospitalization or death? That only happens to people with other health problems. I’m healthy, so I’ll take my chances.

Facts: The Cleveland Clinic notes that most people recover from COVID-19, but even healthy people have died or ended up with long-term complications. Also, not getting a vaccination means you stand a greater chance of giving the virus to someone who could become very ill. It’s not just about you. The vaccine protects those in your circle – siblings, parents, grandparents, friends and co-workers.
