COVID-19 Vaccine Information

 

 

You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days.

Common side effects (CDC, 2020)

On the arm where you got the shot: Throughout the rest of your body:  
Pain
Swelling		 Fever
Chills
Tiredness
Headache		  

Remember

With most COVID-19 vaccines, you will need 2 shots in order for them to work. People who get one of the new COVID-19 vaccines will be expected to get their second shot 21 or 28 days after the first one, depending on the manufacturer.

It takes time for your body to build protection after any vaccination. COVID-19 vaccines that require 2 shots may not protect you until a week or two after your second shot.

It’s important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic as we learn more about how COVID-19 vaccines work in real-world conditions. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others, stay at least 6 feet away from others, avoid crowds, and wash your hands often.
