It’s Our Best Shot - Dr. Andrea Chao - COVID 19 Vaccination

Dr. Chao: I got the COVID-19 vaccine. I got the vaccine for myself. I love life and I want to enjoy every minute of it.

The COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all people 12 years and older, including people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to get pregnant.

There is currently no evidence that any vaccine, including the COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems in women or men.

New research and data show it can be very dangerous for women who are pregnant to contract COVID-19.

I also got the vaccine for my youngest patients. If our children are vaccinated, they'll have a much better chance of staying healthy, of remaining in school for in-person learning, and for participating in all those activities they love to do.

Be sure to speak to your doctor about the vaccine. And we also encourage you to visit the Sauk Prairie Healthcare website to find out more. It's Our Best Shot.
