Hi there! As we know, our world in 2021 is in a crazy, chaotic state. Yes, we’ve gotten vaccines to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, but with that there are also many new concerns arising (questions from parents asking, should I get my children vaccinated? Are the vaccines safe? What are possible harmful side effects my family could get from the vaccines? Which vaccine has been shown to have the least number of side effects?). And these are all valid questions to be asking! I myself have been vaccinated, but I understand why a lot of people could be hesitant to get vaccinated – and I for one was definitely someone who wanted to read up on the possible side effects from getting vaccinated (this I admittedly did after getting the vaccine…but better late than never!). In my COVID blog series, I hope to address some concerns people may be having about the side effects some people may have from the vaccines, specifically teenagers like myself. I hope you enjoy this series, and thanks for reading!
