We want everyone in our community to be safe and get back to hugging our families and friends, and shaking hands with our neighbors. Getting the COVID-19 vaccine adds the best available protection for you and your loved ones. Here are some key points about the COVID-19 vaccine:
- COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.
- You may have side effects after vaccination. These are normal and should go away in a few days.
- It typically takes two weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the 2nd dose of a two-dose vaccine or two weeks after a one-dose vaccine.
- People who are fully vaccinated do not need to quarantine after a close contact to COVID-19 (if they are not symptomatic).
- People who have been fully vaccinated can start to do some things that they had stopped doing because of the pandemic.
- Bust myths and learn the facts about COVID-19 vaccines.
