COVID-19 Vaccines — Truth or Myth? – COVID-19 vaccine 1

From Spr24_BIOL011_33972

Now that COVID-19 vaccines are readily available, you may find yourself having conversations with friends and family members about the vaccine. Most people got both doses (for Pfizer and Moderna) and some may have had one more booster, while others may be hesitant or may have only gotten one or two shots, and thus don’t have as much protection as they could. For this assignment, we are going to practice finding reputable information about COVID-19 vaccines.
