Pixabay/AtlantiCare publishes two new videos about COVID-19 Delta variant.

AtlantiCare providers and staff address common reasons leading to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in two new public service announcement videos published here. In them, they share why they decided to get the shot, relay facts and dispel myths about the vaccine.

The AtlantiCare team provides information that the vaccine does not alter DNA, impact ability to get or stay pregnant, or make you magnetic – all reasons some people have expressed for not getting vaccinated.

AtlantiCare reports seeing an increase in unvaccinated patients who are so severely ill with COVID-19 that they need to be hospitalized.

In a second short video, Manish Trivedi, M.D., director of the AtlantiCare Division of Infectious Diseases, discusses what’s different about the Delta variant.
