Four Corners Health Department is working with all communities in the District to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. People everywhere have questions and want answers they can trust. Let’s look at some common questions about the COVID-19 vaccine with information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
Is it safe for me to get a COVID-19 vaccine if I would like to have a baby one day?
Yes. Currently, no evidence shows that any vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccines, cause fertility problems (problems trying to get pregnant) in women or men.

Will getting a COVID-19 vaccine cause me to test positive for COVID-19 on a viral test?
No. None of the approved and recommended COVID-19 vaccines can cause you to test positive on viral tests. Viral tests are used to see if you have a current infection.
Will a COVID-19 vaccine alter my DNA?
No. COVID-19 vaccines do not change your DNA in any way.

Can a COVID-19 vaccine make me sick with COVID-19?
No. The vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19. The approved COVID-19 vaccines in the United States do not contain the live virus that causes COVID-19.
