Evidence demonstrates that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. People who contract COVID-19 can experience symptoms including fever, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, congestion and shortness of breath. Older adults are at an increased risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19.
Some people who have had COVID-19 may face long-term effects such as fatigue, headaches, difficulty thinking or concentrating (brain fog), difficulty breathing and joint or muscle pains, a condition known as Long COVID.
Staying up to date with the COVID-19 vaccine can protect both individuals and communities while reducing the strain on health care systems. It is estimated that over 318,000 COVID-19 deaths could have been prevented in the U.S. with the vaccine between January 2021 and April 2022.
Non-Hispanic white older adults have a higher prevalence of being up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccines compared with non-Hispanic Black older adults.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone 5 years and older get vaccinated with one of the 2023–2024 updated COVID-19 vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccine has and continues to undergo the most intense safety monitoring in United States history. People and organizations across many different areas are working together to increase COVID-19 vaccination coverage. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 Public Education Campaign is a national program that works to increase public awareness and confidence in COVID-19 vaccines. The effort is driven by communication science and provides tailored information for different audiences.
The CDC offers a list of evidence-based strategies for increasing community vaccination, including training vaccine ambassadors, sending reminders, offering financial incentives, combating misinformation and many more.
