As we are seeing COVID cases once again surge because of the Delta variant, some folks who have waited to get vaccinated and protected might be asking themselves if it is too late to get a COVID vaccine.
Unfortunately, sometimes it is too late.
Is It Too Late to Get a COVID Vaccine?
While COVID-19 is now a vaccine-preventable disease, we are all hearing more and more stories of intentionally unvaccinated people getting COVID.
And despite all of the talk of a 99% survival rate, too many end up with severe disease, either with a prolonged hospital stay or even worse, they are dying.
