MYTH: The COVID-19 vaccines enter your cells and change your DNA.

FACTS:
COVID vaccines are designed to help your body’s immune system fight the coronavirus. The messenger RNA (mRNA) that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use never enters the center of the cells where DNA resides. The mRNA does its job to stimulate your immune system to produce antibodies, and then it quickly breaks down — without interacting with your DNA.
