IMPORTANT NOTICE

Do not show up if you:

  • Have a cough, fever, shortness of breath, or loss of taste or smell or any other illness.
  • Had COVID-19 in the past 6 weeks.
  • Are in quarantine for a household member with COVID-19 or an exposure.
  • Have a pending COVID 19 test.
  • Had any other vaccination in the past 14 days.

Is the vaccine effective?

Each of the vaccines are 94-95% effective at preventing the virus. The vaccine may provide stronger and longer lasting immunity than having had the virus.

I already had COVID, should I get the vaccine?

People who have had COVID-19 should wait until about 90 days after a positive test. It is possible to get reinfected with COVID, so we do recommend that people who have already had the virus get the vaccine. If you have a pending test result, have symptoms, or have had an exposure in the last 14 days, you should wait to get the vaccine.

How many doses are needed?

The Pfizer vaccine requires a second dose 21 days after the first. The Moderna vaccine requires a second dose 28 days after the first. The vaccine is not fully effective until 1-2 weeks after the 2nd dose. We do not yet know if booster shots will be needed.

What are the side effects?

Though extremely few are expected to have serious side effects, many people may have mild to moderate side effects, like pain where you got the shot, body aches, fatigue, or fever. These side effects are more frequent with the second dose. These side effects are a sign that a normal, healthy immune system is responding to the vaccine like it should.
