Answers to Your COVID-19 Questions

Should I get the vaccination?

Researchers developed the COVID-19 vaccines in record-breaking time, not because they cut corners, but because they used a new genetics-based approach. While questions remain about the duration of protection, the trials will answer those questions as the vaccine rolls out to the public over the next year. If you have more questions about the vaccine’s safety or approval process, we recommend this article from the Washington Post.

Do the vaccines protect against newer strains of COVID-19?

Initial research shows that the vaccine is effective for most of the newer strains. All viruses mutate, which causes new strains, or variants, of the virus. Vaccine developers take the mutation process into account as they develop vaccines. As new variants develop, they monitor the vaccine’s effectiveness and make adjustments to booster shot recommendations as needed. This is similar to the process for developing the annual flu vaccine. You can learn more in this article from the Associated Press.

If I’ve had COVID, do I need the vaccine?

Will the vaccine make me sick?

Do I need two doses of the vaccine?

The Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines require two doses. You will not have the full protection the vaccine provides until you receive your second dose, which will be 3 or 4 weeks after your first dose, depending on the manufacturer. The first and second doses must come from the same manufacturer. For example, if you get your first dose is the Pfizer vaccine, you must get your second dose from the Pfizer vaccine stock. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires one dose to get the full protection that the vaccine provides.
