With vaccines, we can build immunity to a disease without getting the disease.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/keythingstoknow.html\">What is \u201cHerd\u201d or Community Immunity<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Herd immunity means that enough people in a community are protected from getting a disease because they\u2019ve already had the disease or because they\u2019ve been vaccinated. Herd immunity makes it hard for the disease to spread from person to person, and it even protects those who cannot be vaccinated, like newborns or people who are allergic to the vaccine.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/vaccines\/vac-gen\/side-effects.html\">What are the side effects of COVID-19 vaccines<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Some people get temporary side effects like fever, headache, or a sore arm after they take the COVID-19 vaccine. Side effects are usually mild and last only a few days. Side effects occur when the body is building protection against the virus.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/facts.html\">How do I know the vaccine won\u2019t give me COVID-19<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">You cannot get COVID-19 from any of the COVID vaccines now in use nor from those being tested in the United States as none of them contain the live virus that causes the disease.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/effectiveness.html\">What does it mean that a vaccine has a 95-percent efficacy rate<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Clinical trials showed that the vaccines are 94-95 percent effective, meaning they prevent 94-95 of every 100 vaccinated individuals from getting COVID-19.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/vaccine-benefits.html\">Will I still be able to transmit the virus if I get a COVID-19 vaccine<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">A vaccine reduces the likelihood that you will get infected, so you\u2019ll be less likely to infect others.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/safety\/allergic-reaction.html\">Why are people having allergic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">A small number of people have had allergic reactions, called anaphylaxis, after getting a COVID-19 vaccine; but they were treated and have fully recovered. The CDC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/safety\/allergic-reaction.html\">provides recommendations<\/a> on what to do if you experience an allergic reaction after getting a COVID-19 vaccination or any other vaccine.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/transmission\/variant.html\">Do the vaccines work on the new COVID variants<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Scientists are studying variants of the virus that cause COVID-19 to see whether existing vaccines will protect people against them. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/transmission\/variant.html\">track US COVID-19 cases caused by variants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/community\/health-equity\/racial-ethnic-disparities\/infographic-cases-hospitalization-death.html\">Why is there a heavy focus on vaccinating people of color<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">People of color who get COVID-19 are at much higher risk for severe cases of and even death from the disease. It\u2019s important that they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/recommendations-process.html\">vaccinated as soon as possible<\/a>, especially seniors of color.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/faq.html\">When can I get the COVID-19 vaccine<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">As larger supplies become available, more people will be able to receive the vaccines. Most adults should be able to get the vaccine later in 2021. Stay tuned to the vaccine program in your state\/county by using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/index.html\">locator<\/a> or through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/publichealthgateway\/healthdirectories\/index.html\">state or local health department<\/a> to find out when, where, and how vaccines will be available in your community.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/vaccine-benefits.html\">Do I need to get a COVID-19 vaccine if I\u2019ve already had COVID-19<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Scientists are still reviewing this question. We don\u2019t yet know how long natural antibodies in people who have had COVID-19, or antibodies created as a result of vaccines, will be effective.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/faq.html\">How long does the COVID-19 vaccine last<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">We don\u2019t know how long the vaccine protects people, but clinical trials are actively investigating this. What we do know is that among people who were vaccinated in clinical trials of the vaccines now available, 94 to 95 people out of 100 did not get the disease.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/faq.html\">Who is paying for the vaccine? Is it free to the public<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Vaccine doses purchased with U.S. taxpayer dollars and are being given to the American people at no cost. Vaccination providers can be reimbursed for vaccine administration fees by the patient\u2019s public or private insurance company or, for uninsured patients. No one can be denied a vaccine if they are unable to pay a vaccine administration fee.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/vaccines\/faq.html\">Do I still need to wear a mask and avoid close contact with others if I have received two doses of the vaccine<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Yes! Experts need to understand more about the protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide in real-world conditions before they recommend that we stop wearing masks or avoiding close contact with others. In the meantime, it will be important for everyone to continue using all the tools available to help stop this pandemic.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Wear a mask over your nose and mouth<\/li>\n<li>Stay at least six (6) feet away from others<\/li>\n<li>Avoid crowds<\/li>\n<li>Avoid poorly ventilated spaces<\/li>\n<li>Wash your hands often<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step Two: Get Vaccinated<\/h4>\n<p>There is a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccines currently available; however, the supply will continue to increase in the weeks and months ahead. It is expected that most of the American population will have access to the vaccine by fall 2021.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When can I get a vaccine?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">CDC makes recommendations for who should get the vaccine first, then each state makes its own plan of distribution. <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/VaccFacts-5\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/VaccFacts-5<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much do I have to pay?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Vaccines are free to the public. <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/VaccFacts-6\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/VaccFacts-6<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where can I get a vaccine?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\">Use the CDC\u2019s vaccine locator or contact your state or local health department to find out when, where, and how vaccines will be available in your community. <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/VaccFacts-7\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/VaccFacts-7<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vaccination hopes, fears and falsehoods are around us in this time of heightened anxiety.
