Questions about COVID-19 Vaccines

There are a lot of questions about COVID-19 vaccines. Here are some answers to some of the most common questions. You can also visit the CDC website for more details.

What does the COVID vaccine do?

COVID-19 vaccines help our bodies develop immunity to the virus that causes COVID-19 without us having to get the illness. Different COVID-19 vaccines may work differently in our bodies, but all provide protection against the virus that causes COVID-19.

Will the vaccine give me COVID-19?

No. The vaccine does not contain the live virus.

What is in the vaccine?

The two types of COVID-19 vaccines for use in the United States use two different paths to stimulate the immune system to recognize the virus and fight the infection. For more information, visit the CDC website “COVID-19 Vaccine Basics”

ALL COVID-19 vaccines prompt our bodies to recognize and help protect us from the virus that causes COVID-19.

Do I need the vaccine if I’ve had COVID-19?

Yes. Even if you have had COVID-19, there is a chance you can get it again. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent serious illness resulting from these viruses. When you are vaccinated, you also help protect everyone around you.

If I get the vaccine, does this mean I will never get COVID-19?

No. There is still a chance you could get COVID-19 after you’ve been vaccinated. This is similar to other vaccines, like the flu vaccine. Staying up to date on vaccines is the most effective way to prevent serious illness resulting from these viruses.
