Not Vaccinated? Still trying to decide if the COVID-19 vaccination is the right thing to do?

Take the COVID-19 Vaccination Quiz. Answer yes or no to the following questions. 1 Would you like to prevent yourself from getting the virus or from becoming seriously ill, being hospitalized or dying due to COVID-19?

2 Would you like to (knowingly or unknowingly) reduce the spread of the virus to others?

3 Would you like to add to the number of people in Audrain County who are protected from getting COVID-19 — making it harder for the disease to spread throughout our county and your community?

4 Would you like to prevent the virus from spreading and replicating, which allows it to mutate and possibly become more resistant to vaccines?

5 Would you like greater protection from catching a more deadly variant of the virus or spreading the virus even if you have already had COVID-19?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, schedule your COVID-19 vaccination today. It’s safe and effective. Schedule online at www.myACHD.as.me or call 573-581-1332. Don’t wait. Vaccinate. Do it for your community. Already vaccinated? Cut this quiz out and share it with someone still trying to decide. Maybe they will get vaccinated just for you!

Download our recent Healthy Bytes podcast where guest, Dr. Simon McKeown, discusses vaccine hesitancy with host, Chris Newbrough. Available on all major podcast hosting sites including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Warning: Unvaccinated individuals, including those previously infected with COVID-19, carry an ACHD increased risk of infection that may result in serious illness, hospitalization and/ or death from Audrain County Health Department COVID-19. Nearly all COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. now are in people who weren’t vaccinated.
