Debunking Myths

There is so much information coming out about the COVID-19 vaccines that we wanted to set the record straight on a few of the myths we are hearing about.

Can the COVID-19 vaccine give me a coronavirus infection?

None of the COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use in Canada contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19.

Will mRNA change my DNA?

No. Injecting mRNA into a person does not change the DNA of a human cell. 

Was the vaccine developed too fast?

We’ve only known slow vaccine development. A lot of time is wasted between research stages. Global funding for COVID vaccine allowed for huge, well-run trials. mRNA vaccines are also much faster to make than traditional vaccines.

Is Bell’s Palsy a possible side effect of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine?

No. Among the almost 22,000 vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTechCOVID-19 vaccine, there were 4 cases of Bell’s palsy. This number of Bell’s palsy cases is consistent with the expected rate in the general population and did not suggest it was caused by the vaccine.
