The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends waiting 14 days after receiving another vaccine to get the Covid-19 vaccine. Similarly, the CDC recommends waiting 14 days after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine to get another vaccine.

The authorized vaccines do not contain the Covid-19 virus, and you cannot develop Covid-19 from the vaccines. Therefore, the vaccines cannot make you contagious with Covid-19 to anyone you come into contact with.

When enough people are vaccinated, vaccines can also protect communities from diseases through “herd immunity.” Herd immunity -- also known as “community immunity” -- is achieved when enough people in a given area develop immunity to a disease thereby making further spread unlikely.

There are still a relatively limited number of vaccines available. As a result, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued guidelines to states on who should receive the vaccine first, based on the most high-risk populations. States are tailoring these guidelines to…

The first and second doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine should be administered 21 days apart. The first and second doses of the Moderna vaccine should be administered 28 days apart.

The Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine demonstrated 52 percent efficacy in protecting against disease after the first dose, according to the clinical trial data. The Moderna vaccine demonstrated 80.2 percent efficacy after the first dose. To maximize the protection from these…

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it can take a few weeks for your body to build up antibodies and maximize Covid-19 protection after receiving the second dose of the vaccine. That's why wearing masks, social distancing, practicing hand hygiene…

We're still waiting for data to be released. Early findings suggest that the vaccines are just as effective against some of the new variant strains but less effective against others.

Monoclonal antibody treatments are not the same as vaccines. Monoclonal antibodies are medicines that directly deliver man-made antibodies against a virus to your body to help fight off infection. To treat Covid-19, the FDA has approved two monoclonal antibody treatments for emergency use…

While not considered to be at high risk for severe complications from Covid-19, serious cases do occur among younger, healthier people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also warns of the potential long-term health effects of Covid-19 infection, even for those who…
