Should I get the vaccine?

Health organizations and professionals suggest everyone gets vaccinated. For any vaccine to be effective, 70% of the population needs to be vaccinated for the vaccine to work as planned. The safety of the vaccines to the masses is still under observation and we shall wait for ample information before administering the vaccine to all. Some groups that do not have enough data about the safety of the vaccine are: Children (under 16), people with severe allergies, women who are pregnant, many other preexisting conditions. We will advise any patient to wait for more information if we do not have the safety data to make an informed decision.

What are the potential side effects of the vaccine?

The health department is continuously monitoring the side effects of the vaccine. The most common side effects that primary recipients of the vaccine reported include:

  • Pain, redness, & swelling around the injection site
  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Muscle pain
  • Joint pain
  • Chills
  • Nausea

Side effects may vary per person. Check the Moderna Vaccine Fact Sheet for more details.

Will I still need to wear a mask and social distance after I receive the vaccine?

Until further notice from health officials, we recommend you continue observing safety precautions to keep you and your loved ones safe, even after getting the 2 doses of the vaccine. Research on the vaccine, its side effects, and its efficiency are still ongoing.

Will my insurance pay for it?

The COVID-19 Vaccine is made free for all by the government, regardless of your insurance plans.
