Top 10 myths about covid-19
Myth: COVID-19 vaccines were rushed and are not safe.
Reality: COVID-19 vaccines went through rigorous testing and clinical trials to ensure safety and efficacy. They were authorized for emergency use only after meeting strict criteria set by health authorities.
Myth: COVID-19 vaccines can alter your DNA.
Reality: COVID-19 vaccines do not affect or interact with your DNA in any way. They work by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus.
Myth: You can get COVID-19 from the vaccine.
Reality: COVID-19 vaccines do not contain live virus. They cannot give you COVID-19. Some people may experience mild side effects like soreness or fatigue, which are normal and temporary.
Myth: Natural immunity is better than vaccine-induced immunity.
Reality: Vaccination provides a safer way to build immunity without the risk of severe illness or complications from COVID-19. Natural immunity alone may not be as reliable or long-lasting.

Reality: COVID-19 vaccines do not contain microchips or tracking devices. Such claims are baseless conspiracy theories.

Reality: Most people with allergies can safely receive COVID-19 vaccines. Consult with your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
Myth: COVID-19 vaccines cause infertility.

Myth: COVID-19 vaccines have severe long-term side effects.
Reality: Long-term studies and monitoring continue, but current data show that severe long-term side effects are extremely rare. The benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.
Myth: You don’t need the vaccine if you’ve already had COVID-19.
Reality: Vaccination is still recommended even if you’ve had COVID-19. It helps strengthen and extend your immune response against future infections.
Myth: COVID-19 vaccines are not effective against new variants.
Reality: COVID-19 vaccines remain effective against severe illness and hospitalization caused by new variants. Booster doses may be recommended to enhance protection over time.
