Some people may experience minor side effects from vaccination, including feeling achy, tired or nauseous. However, these side effects should not stop you from receiving routine vaccinations, which can help prevent you from becoming extremely sick with a disease that can otherwise be prevented. Staying up to date with your routine vaccinations is critical to ensuring we don’t have another public health crisis and the immunity of the country stays strong. A new study found that 26 million doses of CDC-recommended vaccines were missed in 2020 – potentially leaving millions vulnerable to highly contagious, but preventable diseases. The CDC recently released guidance that the COVID-19 vaccines and other vaccines can be administered on the same day: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/covid-19-vaccines-us.html#Coadministration If you are behind on your routine vaccinations, don’t delay and contact your primary care physician today to set up an appointment.
