COVID-19 Vaccine - What To Expect

After vaccine, protect yourself and others by wearing a mask, washing hands, and social distancing when needed.

From the Center for Disease Control and Prevention:  

"Vaccines are one of the tools we have to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. To stop this pandemic, we need to use all of our prevention tools.  Vaccines are one of the most effective tools to protect your health and prevent disease.  Vaccines work with your body's natural defenses so your body will be ready to fight the virus, if you are exposed (also called immunity).  Other steps, like wearing a mask that covers your nose and mouth and staying at least six feet away from other people you don't live with, also help stop the spread of COVID-19."  For more information and answers to frequently asked questions, go to CDC webpage at this link.   A handout in PDF form in English and Spanish can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
