After you receive the vaccine, it is important to remain at the vaccination site for at least 15 minutes to observe for any adverse reactions. A staff member will be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
You may experience some side effects after getting the vaccine, which is normal and a sign that your body is building protection against the virus. The most common side effects are fever, chills, tiredness, and headache. These side effects usually go away in a few days.
It is important to continue to wear a mask and social distance even after you have been vaccinated. You will not be fully protected until two weeks after your second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or two weeks after your single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
