Duke Health has produced an article about the COVID-19 vaccine, "Weigh the Benefits of COVID-19 Vaccine Against the Risk for Infection" by Debbe Geiger. 

Introduction

The COVID-19 vaccine will protect you and others from the virus and help us end this pandemic. While people with medical conditions may be concerned about the vaccine, Duke Health experts said that having a medical condition can increase your risk of getting very sick if you are infected. “One of the great things about these vaccines is that they can be used in a wide variety of individuals," said Kenneth Schmader, MD, a geriatric disease specialist at Duke. He and other Duke experts explained why the benefits of getting vaccinated most often outweigh the risks of getting sick.
