This is a program of Women’s Health First, a Georgia-based *Nonprofit Organization. I’m Nahila Ayeva, Public Health Analyst and Educator, Founder of Women’s Health First. I’m joined TODAY with Dr. Ramatu Muhammad our Vice-President of Public Health Promotion; we are going to talk about COVID-19 and ways to prevent the spread of the infection.
There are a number of ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection. These include: Wear a mask to protect yourself and others and stop the spread of COVID-19. Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from others who don’t live with you. Clean your hands often, either with soap and water for 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Clean frequently touched objects and surfaces daily. Monitor your health daily. CDC recommends getting a COVID-19 vaccine as a safer choice.” (CDC)
Currently, three vaccines are authorized and recommended in the United States to prevent COVID-19, Pfizer-BioNTech Moderna Johnson & Johnson / Janssen VIDEO: JHU’s Daily COVID-19 Data in Motion: September 5, 2021

COVID-19 Vaccine is still being studied in clinical trials. 1-Report vaccine side effects to FDA/CDC Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). The VAERS toll-free number is 1-800-822-7967 2- V-safe is a smartphone-based tool that uses text messaging and web surveys to provide personalized health check-ins after you receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
