Although COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing illness, scientists are still learning how well vaccines prevent you from spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 to others, even if you are asymptomatic. Early data indicate that vaccines help prevent people who do not have symptoms from spreading COVID-19, but we will learn more as more people are vaccinated. Because of population immunity, it is difficult for the disease to spread from person to person. It even protects those who are unable to be vaccinated, such as newborns or people who are allergic to the vaccine. The proportion of people who require protection in order to achieve population immunity varies by disease.
What You Need to Know- -COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.
- -Possible to experience side effects after vaccination. These are normal and should go away in a few days
- -It typically takes two weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the 2nd dose of a two-dose vaccine or two weeks after a one-dose vaccine.
Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine will also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccination is an important tool to bring you closer to enjoying the activities you have missed.
