Soy una persona joven y saludable. ¿Debería también vacunarme?

Si bien no se considera que tenga un alto riesgo de complicaciones graves por el Covid-19, los casos graves ocurren entre las personas más jóvenes y saludables. Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) también advierten sobre los posibles efectos en la salud a largo plazo a raíz de la infección del virus del Covid-19, incluidas aquellas personas que pasaron por la enfermedad levemente.

Además, los jóvenes aún pueden ser portadores del virus y contribuir a la propagación en la comunidad sin tener síntomas.

Por lo tanto, usted debe vacunarse cuando haya disponibilidad. Además de ofrecer protección a nivel personal, vacunarse ayudará a nuestro país a lograr inmunidad colectiva.

While not considered to be at high risk for severe complications from Covid-19, serious cases do occur among younger, healthier people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also warns of the potential long-term health effects of Covid-19 infection, even for those who experienced mild illness.

In addition, young people can still be carriers of the virus and contribute to community spread without ever having symptoms.

Therefore, you should still get vaccinated when one becomes available to you. Aside from offering personal protection, getting vaccinated will help our country achieve herd immunity.
