COVID-19 Vaccinations and Booster

COVID-19 Vaccination Is An Important Tool To Help Us Get Back To Normal.

About Vaccination

To save the world, we have to save ourselves first from this COVID-19 pandemic which starts with protecting ourselves and our loved ones by being fully vaccinated against coronavirus, if eligible.
Vaccines help our body build up immunity to the virus without us having to get the virus.
Typically, it takes your body a few weeks to develop immunity after receiving the vaccination.
COVID-19 vaccines do not give you COVID-19. While your body is building immunity you may experience side effects.

All COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States have been shown to be safe and effective at preventing COVID-19. Learn more about the different COVID-19 vaccines.

Moderna Primary Series
- Ages 6months and older
  - 2 doses
  - Given 4 weeks (28 days) apart

Everyone 12 years or older who has not received a booster in the past 2 months should receive a BIVALENT Omicron booster.
Everyone ages 5-11 years older should get a booster dose of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna 4 months after the last dose in their primary series.

If you received a dose of J&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, everyone ages 18 years and older should get a booster dose of either Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (mRNA COVID-19 vaccines) at least 2 months after the first dose.

You are not considered fully vaccinated until two weeks after your second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, or two weeks after a single-dose Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine.

After your booster dose, you are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks following your booster.

To reduce discomfort and pain at the site:
- Apply a clean, cool, wet washcloth over the area.
- Use or exercise your arm.

To reduce discomfort from fever:
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Dress lightly
- Take antipyretics such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, if eligible.

When to seek further medical treatment or call 911:
- If the redness or tenderness at the site is getting gets worse after 24 hours
- If the side effects are worsening or do not seem to be going away after a few days

Wearing masks and staying 6 feet apart from others helps to reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others, but these measures are not enough. Vaccines helps to boost your immune system to fight the virus if you are exposed.

A growing body of evidence suggests that fully vaccinated people are less likely to be infected without showing symptoms (called an asymptomatic infection) and potentially less likely to spread the virus that causes COVID-19 to others. Studies and investigation continue.
