COVID-19 Vaccine FAQ's

Should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?

COVID-19 is very serious and can cause severe medical complications that lead to death in some people. The best way to protect yourself from COVID-19 is by getting the vaccine when it is available.

COVID-19 vaccines are being held to the same rigorous safety and efficacy standards as all other vaccines – and have been tested thousands of times to ensure safety.

Will I need a prescription for the vaccine?

No. You don't need a prescription, but you do need an appointment and an ID to get vaccinated.

Will a COVID-19 vaccine protect me from getting sick with COVID-19?

Yes, COVID-19 vaccines work by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus. While breakthrough infection is possible, it hopefully will prevent you from getting sick, from developing severe illness, and from having long-term health effects from COVID-19 infection, or death.​
