Watch our vaccine videos to learn more. COVID-19 Vaccine & Children, COVID-19 Vaccine and Women How does the COVID-19 Vaccine work? The vaccine teaches your immune system how to fight the virus that causes COVID-19 and will keep you from getting sick with the virus. The vaccines approved for use in the U.S. do not contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. Is the COVID-19 Vaccine effective? Studies show that Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines effectively keep you from getting COVID-19. Experts also think that getting a COVID-19 vaccine may help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19. These vaccines cannot give you the disease. Does the vaccine protect against COVID-19 variants? There are fears in regards to COVID variants that have emerged, and this remains a concern. However, the vaccine appears to be protective against variants as well as the novel SARS virus that emerged last year. Furthermore, a durable antibody response appears to have been achieved, either from vaccination or from contracting the virus. There appears to be a very low rate of re-infection; almost always among patients with very limited immune systems. What are the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine? Any medications or vaccines have possible side effects. After getting the COVID-19 shot, you may have swelling or soreness at the site of the injection. Some people have experienced fatigue, low-grade fever, headaches, or body aches that go away after a few days. These are normal side effects and are a sign your body is building immunity. The vaccines approved for use in the U.S. have not shown any serious side effects in clinical trials. Talk to your doctor about any concerns you may have. Watch our video from Dr. Hardin to learn more. When you receive the first shot of the vaccine, the CDC asks vaccine recipients to enroll in V-Safe Vaccination Health Checker to monitor symptoms and set up reminders for the second vaccine. 1 2 ► Visit the CDC website for the latest information on the COVID-19 Vaccine.
