Make sure your #YoungAdult patients know #Vaccine side effects are a sign their immune system is at work, not a sign they’re getting sick.
Developing mild side effects after vaccination means that your body is mounting an immune response to protect you from future infection - and that's a very good thing!

ALT The image consists of an off-white background. There is an image of a man sitting in a bed. He is holding a tea cup in one hand and holding his other hand to his head in pain. His shirt sleeve is up revealing a bandage on his upper arm. Text reads, "Fact Check. THE CLAIM: Flu and COVID-19 vaccines contain poisons that create illness after vaccination. *Some people will experience no side effects at all from vaccines. *Others may experience mild side effects including pain, swelling, or redness at the injection site, low-grade fever, chills, or headache. *These side effects are a sign that the vaccine is doing its job mounting an immune response against future infections. THE FACTS: COVID-19 and flu vaccines do not contain poisons. They are safe and essential to helping prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death!" The bottom left reads, ":#MisinformationMonday" and the bottom right contains the Immunize Colorado logo with people joining hands in front of a mountain range.
