The vaccine process will take approximately 30 minutes. You will be asked to wait for at least 15 minutes after your vaccination before you leave to ensure you have no adverse reactions.
Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine is authorized and recommended for people 18 years of age and older.
All people for whom vaccination is indicated should receive 2 doses at least 28 days apart. Please do not schedule the second dose appointment earlier than the recommended interval.
You should administer the second dose as close as possible to the recommended interval of 28 days after dose 1. However, if it is not possible to follow the recommended interval, you may schedule the second dose of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine for administration up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose. There is currently limited data on the efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered beyond this window. If the second dose is administered after these intervals, there is no need to restart the series.
If you are pregnant, you can receive a COVID-19 vaccine. You might want to have a conversation with your healthcare provider to help you decide whether to get vaccinated. While such a conversation might be helpful, it is not required before vaccination.
Persons age 12 years and older should receive 2 doses at least 21 days apart. Second doses should be administered as close to the recommended interval as possible.
If it is not feasible to adhere to the recommended interval, you may schedule the second dose up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose; there is limited efficacy data beyond this window, but a dose after this time does not need to be repeated
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine requires two injections given 21 days apart. The second dose can be given up to six weeks after the first dose, if needed.
Research has shown that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine is 100% effective in preventing the COVID-19 virus in children ages 12 through 15. Previous research has shown that the vaccine is 95% effective in preventing the COVID-19 virus with symptoms in people age 16 and older.
COVID Vaccination Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Am I immune to COVID-19 after getting the vaccination?
- It typically takes a few weeks for the body to build immunity (protection against the virus that causes COVID-19) after vaccination. That means it's possible a person could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 just before or just after vaccination and still get sick.
- Are Vaccine Side Effects a good sign?
- The vaccines can cause side effects, like tiredness, achiness, and fever, but the vast majority last only a day or two and aren't serious or dangerous. Side effects are actually normal signs that the vaccine is working and your body is building protection.
- When do side effects of covid-19 vaccine start?
- When exactly symptoms set in following your dose will vary from person to person, but generally you can expect your side effects to hit within 24 hours of your dose, and not to stretch 7 days post your vaccination.
- Do I still have to wear a face mask after getting the vaccination?
- Masks may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others. The CDC recommends people wear face masks in public settings, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Wearing a face mask may limit exposure to respiratory droplets and large particles and may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus.
- Should I avoid gatherings after getting the vaccinations?
- In general, interacting with more people, especially closely and for longer times, increases risk of getting and spreading COVID-19. Avoid gatherings of 10 or more people.
- Is the COVID-19 vaccine effective?
- COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. After you are fully vaccinated, you may be able to start doing some things you had stopped doing because of the pandemic.
