Frequently Asked Questions about COVID-19 Vaccination
CLICK HERE for answers to commonly asked questions about COVID-19 vaccinations. CDC also has information for busting common vaccine myths available in facts about COVID-19 vaccines.
Have You Been Fully Vaccinated?
Information if you have been fully vaccinated
People are considered fully vaccinated:
- 2 weeks after their second dose in a 2-dose series, like the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or
- 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine
If it has been less than 2 weeks since your shot, or if you still need to get your second dose, you are NOT fully protected. Keep taking all prevention steps until you are fully vaccinated.
