Also, we recently found out that Mayo Clinic is leading a nationwide COVID vaccination campaign encouraging adults to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The campaign is called "Get the Vaccine to Save Lives". It will aim to "reassure the public that vaccines are safe, effective, and necessary to achieve herd immunity and return to normal activities." You can read more about the campaign HERE.

Some people who haven't gotten the vaccine may be a little worried or have questions about the COVID vaccine. If you're one of those people, below we have the answers to common questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. And if you have any other questions you can always reach out to your health care provider.
