    Does each dose of the COVID-19 vaccine increase a person's chance of getting the COVID-19 virus? No, that's not true: While data from a preprint (not-peer-reviewed) study posted on December 19, 2022, suggests that the "higher the number of vaccines previously received, the higher the risk of contracting COVID-19," medical experts contacted by Lead Stories cast doubt on coming to…
