Important information regarding COVID-19 Vaccine:
*Experts say people can still spread and even develop COVID-19 after getting a vaccine.
*Immunity from the vaccine doesn’t begin to emerge until at least 12 days after inoculation.

*Experts advise people who get vaccinated to continue wearing a mask, washing their hands, and maintaining proper physical distancing.
If adverse events occur following the administration of COVID-19 vaccines, they should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). Information on how to submit a report to VAERS is available at VAERS - Report an Adverse Event (vaers.hhs.gov) Including, but not limited to;
• Severe anaphylaxis or allergic reaction
