You need to be healthy and able to fish to have a successful fishing season. Vaccinations can keep you and your crewmates on the water and fishing.

​

Vaccination helps prevent serious illness and time away from work. You are 5x less likely to get infected if you get the shot than if you are  unvaccinated. Even a mild case of COVID-19 can keep you off the job for two weeks of more.

 

With the vaccine, you are 10x less likely to end up in the hospital. People with serious cases frequently take six weeks or more to recover.

 

Unvaccinated, you have a 1-in-3 chance of developing long-term health conditions and organ damage that can affect your ability to work. Vaccination reduces your chance of long terms symptoms by 49%.

​

COVID-19 vaccines help prevent infection, serious disease, hospitalization, and death. More than 90% of those hospitalized with COVID-19 are unvaccinated.
