Would you go on a date with someone if they weren't vaccinated for COVID?
 |  | By Stephanie Cornwell, Editorial Assistant | | | Would you go on a date with someone if they weren't vaccinated for COVID? It turns out many young people don't consider vaccination status all that important when dating. | | | Today's Top Story | | Vaccination Status Isn't That Important for Daters |  | In the spirit of Valentine's Day, we looked at a recent survey by The Balance that examined if vaccination status is a dealbreaker in a relationship. More than half of the respondents aged 18-40 said it's not.
The survey found that people who go on dates more frequently seem to care more about their date's vaccination status, likely because they're exposed to more people.
Not surprisingly, those who are vaccinated are more likely to care if their dates have received their shots as well.
When asked if they would go on a date with an unvaccinated suitor, 37% said "it depends." | | Know More | | Some dating apps have created vaccine initiatives where users can share their vaccination status on profiles. These users are rewarded with premium app features that others don't have access to. This feature helps keep users safe while dating in a pandemic. It's also an incentive to get young people vaccinated: get your vaccine, and you might be more dateable. | | Feel Better | | Getting vaccinated is an individual choice, as is who you're intimate with. It's important to know if your partner is vaccinated for your safety and the safety of others, even if it's not a dealbreaker. Talking about your vaccine status might not be sexy, but it's the reality of dating during a pandemic. | | |  | | Lifestyle Changes Can Prevent Heart Disease, Even for People With Family History | | Just because you're genetically predisposed to heart disease doesn't mean you'll develop the condition. Research showed that people with high genetic risk factors for heart disease could lower their risk by tweaking their lifestyle. The American Heart Association released the following 7 top risk factors that can improve through lifestyle changes: smoking status, exercise, weight, diet, blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure. | | | | Can Wine Protect Against COVID-19? | | A recent study claimed that drinking red wine, white wine, and champagne reduces the risk of catching COVID, while drinking beer and hard cider increases the risk. Fans of red wine will be disappointed to know that experts are highly wary of these results. Factors like where the participants were drinking (out in a crowded bar versus alone at home) or if they were practicing COVID protective measures like wearing a mask were not considered. Bottom line: alcohol does more harm than good, so drink with caution. | | | | | | | |  | | In an interview with Verywell, Monique White-Dominguez, MD, said that knowing where your date stands on vaccines is essential. |  | | Getting the conversation started around the topic may seem difficult at first, but getting on the same page regarding big issues like vaccination is an important step in the right direction. | |  |  | Monique White-Dominguez,
