4 Benefits of Getting Vaccinated

Vaccinations have become widely available to most age groups. Here are four reasons you should get vaccinated:

1. The Protection of Yourself and Others

Vaccines significantly reduce the risk of contracting COVID-19. While the past year has been full of fear, getting vaccinated will ease concerns around spreading the virus to others. 

2. Travel

In certain places, those who are vaccinated are subject to less strict travel restrictions. If you are someone who misses a beach vacation, is sick of staying at home, or wants to go on an adventure, getting the vaccine may increase your ability to travel with ease and normalcy. Be sure to check your state ordinances before making travel decisions. 

3. Social Gatherings

As case numbers decrease, the amount of people allowed at gatherings increases. However, it increases to an even greater extent when those people are vaccinated. Not only do vaccinations enable larger events, but they also keep those events safe. 

4. School

All of us have experienced being home for much of the past year. Schools have been shut down or hybrid and students have struggled to maintain good learning habits. Getting vaccinated helps students to be able to go back to school full-time in the fall. If community COVID-19 cases are low, students are able to return to the classroom. Getting vaccinated helps your community.
