COVID Vaccine Information

Why Should You Get Vaccinated?

The American Lung Association encourages all eligible Americans to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Vaccines are Safe

• The science behind the development of COVID-19 vaccines has been around for decades. The COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use have gone through clinical trials, extensive testing, and monitoring to assure safety.

• None of the vaccines contain the live COVID-19 virus so getting vaccinated cannot make you sick with COVID-19.

• The health risks of getting the COVID-19 virus (including serious illness, hospitalization, and death) far outweigh the risk of side effects from the vaccine.

• Visit the American Lung Association's COVID-19 vaccine FAQs page for answers to the most common questions.

Vaccines are Effective

• Over 159 million Americans have been fully vaccinated so far, and all currently authorized and recommended vaccines are effective at reducing your risk for illness and spreading the virus that causes COVID-19.

• Vaccination can protect you from getting seriously sick in the rare case that you get COVID-19.

• The COVID-19 vaccine is an important tool to stop the pandemic.

Vaccines are Convenient

• Vaccines are now widely available in a variety of locations, including healthcare providers, retail pharmacies, grocery stores, and dedicated vaccination sites. You can search Vaccines.gov, text your ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233 to find locations near you.

• Everyone ages 12 and older are now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is authorized for ages 12 and older while Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are authorized for adults ages 18 and older.

Vaccinations Help Protect You, Your Family, Friends, and Community

• Becoming fully vaccinated helps protect you and everyone around you, especially those with underlying conditions or at high risk.

• According to Dr. Fauci, 99% of those who died in June 2021 from COVID-19 were unvaccinated.

Vaccinations Help You Get Back to What You Love

• Summer is here and what better time to get vaccinated and return to activities you have missed during the pandemic. Hug your family and friends, take a trip, go to a ball game, hear some live music, get a haircut. Here are examples of safe activities if you are fully vaccinated.

The American Lung Association has science-based resources to help you be well-informed about COVID-19 vaccinations. Please visit Lung.org/vaccine-toolkit for community-specific vaccine education, including toolkits in partnership with the Center for Black Health and Equity, for American Indian, Indigenous and Alaska Natives, for the LatinX Community and for the general public. Visit Lung.org/vaccine-facts for other COVID-19 vaccine resources.
