Frequently Asked Questions
What are common side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine?
Side effects are a normal sign that your body is building protection. In clinical trials, most children and adults had minimal side effects from the vaccine. To learn more, visit CDC.gov
Is the COVID-19 vaccine safe for children?
COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective for both children and adults. COVID-19 vaccines have been used under the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history, which includes studies in children. The vaccine can help keep your child from spreading the virus to others, and can also help keep your child from getting seriously sick if they do get COVID-19.
Will my child get sick with COVID-19 from the vaccine?
No, your child can’t get COVID-19 from any COVID-19 vaccine.
Is the vaccine safe for pregnant women?
Yes. If you are pregnant, speak with your healthcare provider to help you decide when to get vaccinated.
If I am fully vaccinated, can I still get COVID-19?
Children and adults who are fully vaccinated are at lower risk of getting COVID-19. However, if you are fully vaccinated and do get infected, you will most likely have mild or no symptoms at all.
Does the vaccine cost money?
The COVID-19 vaccine is free to all individuals regardless of insurance, immigration, or financial status.
