Vaccination

Information

1.

The vaccine will be free of charge to all people living in the United States. No one can be denied a vaccine if they are unable to pay a vaccine administration fee.​

2.

Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible—although rare—that you could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 again.

3.

None of the authorized and recommended vaccines or those in development in the US contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. A vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19

4.

Common side effects after getting the vaccine are pain and swelling at the site of injection and fever, chills, tiredness and headache.  You can apply a cool, wet washcloth over your arm to reduce pain and drink plenty of fluids after receiving the vaccine.

5.

For more information about the vaccine, visit the CDC's page.
