We hope that you are staying healthy and safe. Highmark Wholecare is reaching out with updates about the COVID-19 vaccine.
The COVID-19 vaccines are safe – much safer than getting COVID-19. The vaccines are also effective at preventing severe illness from COVID-19 and limiting the spread of the virus that causes it. This is according to the CDC.
Bottom Line: They are an important tool to help stop the COVID-19 pandemic.
