    COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. They do not contain any part of the live virus, so they cannot give you COVID-19. They were developed quickly due to prior research, but no safety steps were skipped. While viruses mutate over time, current data shows the vaccines protect against strains seen so far. The vaccines use mRNA and do not interact with or alter DNA. They have also not been linked to infertility or miscarriage. They do not contain microchips or tracking devices. People with chronic conditions are encouraged to get vaccinated as they are at higher risk of severe COVID-19.
