Covid-19 vaccines are here. But many are wondering whether they should get it.
This webinar goes beyond the headlines to help you make an informed decision about the vaccine by looking at the actual published studies on the Covid vaccine. You'll learn what the actual study says about the vaccine's components, safety and effectiveness, and what role a healthy lifestyle might play in vaccine conversation.
Examples of some of the questions we will seek to explore are:
I want to be responsible in my approach to the vaccine. What would that look like?
When you hear that the Pfizer vaccine is very safe, what does that actually mean? What were the actual definitions and outcome measures used in the study?
It is being reported as > 95% efficacy. What does that mean?
Did the Pfizer study show reduced viral transmission with vaccination?
The study reported adverse events after vaccination. What were those?
The study lasted for several months. What does this tell us about the safety of the vaccine?
How many lives did the vaccine save in the study?
Does a healthy lifestyle have any role in the vaccine conversation?
