WEBVTT 00:00.240 --> 00:04.180 mhm . Mhm hey dot com . This is John 00:04.180 --> 00:06.347 Napier with your law . Com Look at the 00:06.347 --> 00:08.640 Covid 19 vaccine . Immunization is 00:08.640 --> 00:10.640 crucial to mitigating the spread of 00:10.640 --> 00:12.751 Covid 19 and preserving the health of 00:12.751 --> 00:14.973 our workforce . It also enables greater 00:14.973 --> 00:16.751 protection for our families and 00:16.751 --> 00:18.862 communities . Leadership wants you to 00:18.862 --> 00:20.640 be informed about the risks and 00:20.640 --> 00:22.696 benefits of receiving the vaccine so 00:22.696 --> 00:24.973 that you can make an informed decision . 00:24.973 --> 00:27.196 Those individuals receiving the vaccine 00:27.196 --> 00:27.190 through the base are receiving a TUTTO 00:27.190 --> 00:29.950 series of a messenger RNA vaccine that 00:29.950 --> 00:31.950 takes advantage of the process that 00:31.950 --> 00:34.172 sells used to make proteins in order to 00:34.172 --> 00:36.200 trigger an immune response . Mm RNA 00:36.200 --> 00:38.370 vaccines do not contain a live virus 00:38.380 --> 00:40.324 and do not carry a risk of causing 00:40.324 --> 00:42.660 infection in the vaccinated person . M 00:42.660 --> 00:44.771 RNA from the vaccine never enters the 00:44.771 --> 00:47.030 nucleus of the cell and does not affect 00:47.040 --> 00:49.800 or interact with a person's D n a . As 00:49.800 --> 00:52.022 you likely know by now , the FDA issued 00:52.022 --> 00:54.244 an emergency use authorization for both 00:54.244 --> 00:56.620 the Pfizer Bio in Tech and Moderna mRNA 00:56.620 --> 00:58.750 vaccines . While this means that the 00:58.750 --> 01:00.750 vaccines are not fully approved and 01:00.750 --> 01:02.972 licensed by the FDA based on the review 01:02.972 --> 01:04.972 of scientific evidence available at 01:04.972 --> 01:06.917 this time , it is determined to be 01:06.917 --> 01:08.917 generally safe and effective in the 01:08.917 --> 01:10.917 known and potential benefits of the 01:10.917 --> 01:13.083 vaccine . When used to prevent covid , 01:13.083 --> 01:15.083 19 outweigh its known and potential 01:15.083 --> 01:17.320 risks . M RNA vaccines are given in two 01:17.320 --> 01:19.940 shots that are 3 to 4 weeks apart . The 01:19.940 --> 01:22.051 two doses are required to achievement 01:22.051 --> 01:24.030 efficiency rate over 94% after the 01:24.030 --> 01:26.720 second dose . Both doses received by an 01:26.720 --> 01:28.664 individual should be from the same 01:28.664 --> 01:30.720 company with any vaccine , there are 01:30.720 --> 01:32.720 always risks and always unknowns . 01:32.730 --> 01:34.841 Known risks and side effects reported 01:34.841 --> 01:36.674 for the Covid 19 vaccine include 01:36.674 --> 01:38.563 injection site pain , redness and 01:38.563 --> 01:40.850 swelling , tiredness , headache , 01:40.860 --> 01:43.500 muscle pain , chills , joint pain , 01:43.510 --> 01:46.380 fever , nausea , feeling unwell and 01:46.380 --> 01:48.880 swollen lymph nodes . Mild side effects 01:48.880 --> 01:50.769 are normal and indicate that your 01:50.769 --> 01:52.602 system is creating antibodies to 01:52.602 --> 01:54.824 protect against covid . The benefits of 01:54.824 --> 01:56.658 the vaccination far outweigh the 01:56.658 --> 01:58.658 complications associated with being 01:58.658 --> 02:01.230 infected by the Covid 19 virus . Tell 02:01.230 --> 02:03.397 your vaccination provider about all of 02:03.397 --> 02:05.230 your medical conditions prior to 02:05.230 --> 02:07.286 getting the vaccine , or if you have 02:07.286 --> 02:09.286 received another covid 19 vaccine , 02:09.286 --> 02:11.174 there is a remote chance that the 02:11.174 --> 02:13.286 vaccine could cause a severe allergic 02:13.286 --> 02:15.508 reaction . This usually occurs within a 02:15.508 --> 02:17.730 few minutes to one hour after getting a 02:17.730 --> 02:19.952 dose of the Covid 19 vaccine . For this 02:19.952 --> 02:22.063 reason , your vaccination provider is 02:22.063 --> 02:24.286 likely to ask you to remain on site for 02:24.286 --> 02:26.174 a period of monitoring . Building 02:26.174 --> 02:28.063 defenses against COVID 19 and our 02:28.063 --> 02:30.230 facilities and our community is a team 02:30.230 --> 02:32.452 effort , and you are a key part of that 02:32.452 --> 02:34.674 defense getting the Covid 19 vaccine as 02:34.674 --> 02:36.786 an additional layer of protection for 02:36.786 --> 02:38.952 you , your co workers and family . The 02:38.952 --> 02:41.174 law com work force is highly encouraged 02:41.174 --> 02:43.230 to get the vaccine as we continue to 02:43.230 --> 02:45.230 receive availability from the Naval 02:45.230 --> 02:47.508 Hospital and Headquarters Marine Corps . 02:47.508 --> 02:49.563 If you are interested in getting the 02:49.563 --> 02:51.452 vaccine , contact your supervisor 02:51.452 --> 02:53.730 immediately . If you do get vaccinated , 02:53.730 --> 02:55.508 you're encouraged to help build 02:55.508 --> 02:57.730 confidence and others by discussing why 02:57.730 --> 02:59.563 you chose to get the vaccine and 02:59.563 --> 03:01.897 encourage them to do the same . For now , 03:01.897 --> 03:04.063 it's important to note that regardless 03:04.063 --> 03:06.119 of your vaccination status , law com 03:06.119 --> 03:06.100 personnel will continue to follow all 03:06.100 --> 03:08.322 public health practices , including the 03:08.322 --> 03:10.489 basics of wearing a mask , maintaining 03:10.489 --> 03:12.656 social distance and washing your hands 03:12.656 --> 03:14.930 Frequently . Reliable information is 03:14.930 --> 03:17.280 available on the D O D . Defense Health 03:17.280 --> 03:20.060 Agency and CDC websites . This is when 03:20.060 --> 03:22.171 you're locked .
