Getting the COVID vaccine protects you and others from coronavirus infection and is the biggest step yet toward getting the world back online. Still, because of the newness of the disease and the speed of the vaccine development, there are lots of concerns and theories floating around the web regarding the vaccines side effects and safety, some of which are more valid than others.
One major topic circulating on social media that s been a source of misinformation: A claim that the vaccine causes infertility. (Before we go any further, to set the record straight, doctors and scientists say this is NOT TRUE more on why below.) One such Facebook post even shared an article that alleged a Pfizer researcher likened the vaccine to “female sterilization.” The post has now been marked as “false information” by the platform.

Starting Jan. 19, the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center will utilize the Jerome Schottenstein Center at The Ohio State University as a mass COVID-19 vaccination site for its patients and, later, the general public. The medical center estimates that it can provide over 3,000 vaccines per day through this site.
Consistent with Gov. Mike DeWine’s announcement about Ohio’s approach to Group 1B priority populations, the medical center will start vaccinating its patients over age 80 at this site. In addition to patients over age 80, other 1B populations will be vaccinated in the future.
Talking to your children about Capitol Hill riots

(CNN) – Riots and destruction, anger and fear, Americans watched an attack on the nation’s capital this week by supporters of the president.
The images are hard to see, especially for children.
“There are many teachable moments in this and it’s quite a challenge to show just enough of the information to teach on, but not so much that you create a sensation of children not feeling safe,” said Ken Yeager, director of the Stress, Trauma and Resilience Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
Allergic Reactions to the COVID-19 Vaccine Are Extremely Rare, New CDC Report Finds Prevention 1/7/2021 Korin Miller
A new report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found that, while severe allergic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine can happen, they are rare. The report, which was published on Jan. 6, found that the risk of developing a severe allergic reaction after the vaccine is 0.001%, based on data available so far.
The news comes on the heels of warnings that people with a history of severe allergic reactions to vaccines or injectable medications should talk to their doctor before receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Both the Allergy & Asthma Network and the CDC say you should let your medical provider know if you have experienced anaphylaxis, a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction that can cause difficulty breathing, to a past injected medication or vaccine.
