Vaccination is a personal decision that also impacts overall public health. Vibra Health Plan encourages its members to talk to their doctors about the best choice for them and their unique health situation.
Getting vaccinated may help you be part of the pandemic solution. Vaccines prepare your immune system to fight the virus if you are exposed. Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccine candidates have been reported to be around 95% effective—meaning there was a 95% reduction in the number of cases that would have been expected if the test group had not been vaccinated.
Other steps, like mask-wearing and social distancing, help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others. Together, COVID-19 vaccination and following the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) recommendations to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection from COVID-19.
