COVID-19 vaccines are effective at helping protect against severe disease and death from the virus that causes COVID-19, including known variants currently circulating (e.g., Delta variant).
The benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known and potential risks, which are rare.
As with other routine vaccines, side effects may occur after vaccination. These are normal and should go away within a few days.
People who are fully vaccinated can resume many activities they did before the pandemic. However, people should wear a mask indoors in public if they are in an area of substantial or high transmission.
People who are moderately to severely immunocompromised are recommended to get an additional dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (i.e., Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) every 6 months (a COVID-19 booster shot).
Unlike many medications, COVID-19 vaccine dosage does not vary by patient weight but by age on the day of vaccination.
People can get a COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines, including flu vaccine, at the same time.
