VACCINE At Prairie Ridge Health, we are currently administering the Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty) COVID-19 Vaccine. This vaccine is: FDA approved Full Authorization for individuals 16 years of age and older FDA approved Emergency use authorization (EUA) for Individuals 12-15 years of age A 3rd dose for immunocompromised individuals A booster for 65+, those living in a long-term care facility, individuals with underlying health conditions, & those high-risk due to occupational & institutional exposure An mRNA vaccine NOT a live virus Injected into the upper arm (intramuscular injection) Given in 2 doses, spaced 3 weeks apart. If you receive one dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine, you should receive a second dose of this same vaccine within the allotted time frame (doses can be given 17-25 days apart if needed). A 3rd dose is recommended at least 28 days after the 2nd dose for patients who are immunocompromised (under EUA) Common side effects include tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, fever, injection site swelling, injection site pain, injection site redness, nausea, feeling unwell, and swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy). These symptoms are temporary and tend to only last 24-48 hours. Receiving the vaccine is your choice. Vaccines work with your immune system so your body will be ready to fight the virus if you are exposed by helping your body develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without becoming seriously ill. The goal of vaccinating is to stop the spread of COVID-19 to others whose immune systems may not be able to handle the virus. Stopping a pandemic requires using all the tools available. Vaccines are in addition to, not in replacement of, the preventative measures already in place. Other steps, like covering your mouth and nose with a mask, hand washing, and staying at least 6 feet away from others help reduce your chance of being exposed to the virus or spreading it to others. Wisconsin hospitals and health systems have been notified patients are receiving fraudulent calls from individuals claiming to be from hospital representatives seeking personal health information and other sensitive data. The Wisconsin Hospital Association and Wisconsin Department of Trade Agriculture and Consumer Protection (DATCP) remind Wisconsinites not to respond to such unsolicited requests of personal information, whether they are made over the phone or through text or email.
