St. Luke’s University Health Network has released a video, “Everything You Need to Know About Vaccines … But Were Afraid to Ask,” as part of its Emmy Award-winning “Wellness 101” web series.

“Wellness 101” is a practical but humorous step-by-step guide to successfully complete some of life’s most important tasks and deal with some of life’s most perplexing, and in this case, one of life’s most serious situations.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), vaccine hesitancy is one of the Top 10 global health threats today. The hesitancy extends also to getting the COVID vaccine, which is understandable, say public health experts, in that the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines work differently than vaccines have in the past.

“Wellness 101” explains in four minutes what vaccines are, how they work and how scientists and public health institutions work to keep the vaccines safe and effective.

“Wellness 101” episodes are posted to St. Luke’s YouTube Channel.

COVID-19 vaccines are rolling out across the United States. Who receives the vaccine and in what order is not up to a hospital or healthcare provider. Vaccine allotments are determined by each state’s department of health. Distribution is governed by the CDC’s recommended phased approach.

“Wellness 101” is produced by St. Luke’s University Health Network and The Production Pocketknife, LLC.
