5 Myths About
COVID-19 Immunity 1. Myth: A flu shot makes
you immune to COVID-19 Truth: Although coronavirus and
flu symptoms are similar, a flu shot is
not effective against COVID-19. 2. Myth: A family member had it
but you didn't get it, so you're immune Truth: It's possible that you contracted the virus but
were asymptomatic. If your family member wasn't
tested, they might have had a different illness. 3. Myth: You have antibodies,
so you're immune Truth: According to the CDC,
"it's unclear if those antibodies can provide
protection (immunity) against getting infected again." 4. Myth: You take lots of
Vitamin C, so you're immune Truth: Supporting your immune health
only helps your body fight the virus once
you get it. It doesn't make you immune to it. 5. Myth: Wearing a face
mask makes you immune Truth: Wearing a face mask protects
others from being infected by you,
not the other way around.
