The vaccine works.

While there were more "breakthrough" infections through the Omicron surge, vax'd Chicagoans continue to be HALF as likely to be diagnosed with COVID than unvax'd Chicagoans.

Great graphic from @YoungInvincible on common questions about the Covid-19 Booster. Check it out below 👇

Everyone 12 or older should get a COVID booster! 12-15 year olds are now eligible for a Pfizer booster 6 months after their 2nd dose.

Remember: the vaccines & boosters are still our best tools for reducing your chance of severe illness or hospitalization w/ #COVID19. #GenVaxxed
