Important information for a pleasant vaccination experience:

• There is a 15-30 minute observation period once the dose is administered.
• Please wear clothes that allow easy access to your shoulder area.
• Please do not take selfies when getting the shot.
• People who have previously tested positive for COVID-19 are more likely to experience mild COVID-19-like symptoms as a result of the vaccine, which is not an adverse reaction, but rather normal signs that your body is building protection.
• Be sure to bring your Vaccination Record Card if visiting for your 2nd dose, booster shot, or an additional primary dose of the vaccine.
• Bring a photo ID.
• Bring your health insurance card.

Remember:

• It takes time for your body to build protection after any vaccination. COVID-19 vaccines that require 2 shots may not protect you until a week or two after your second shot.
• It’s important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic as we learn more about how COVID-19 vaccines work in real-world conditions. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when around others, stay at least 6 feet away from others, avoid crowds, and wash your hands often.
