General Education

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent disease-related illness. The COVID-19 vaccine will work with your body's natural defenses so your body will be ready to fight the COVID-19 virus if you are exposed.

Vacunandose es la mejor manera de prevenir condiciones relacionadas con enfermedades. La vacuna contra el COVID-19 trabaja con las defensas naturales de su cuerpo para que combata el virus del COVID-19 si usted se expone.

Pre-Vaccination Safety

Experts agree that getting a COVID-19 vaccine will keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19. These vaccines cannot give you the disease itself.

Los expertos coinciden en que recibir la vacuna contra el COVID-19 evita que usted se enfereme gravemente incluso si contrae COVID-19. La vacuna no le puede dar la enfermedad.

Pre-Vaccination Safety

The U.S. vaccine safety system makes sure that all vaccines are very safe. All the COVID-19 vaccines that are being used have gone through the same safety tests and meet the same standards as any other vaccines produced through the years.

El sistema de seguridad de vacunas en EE.UU. se encarga con la seguridad de cada vacuna. Las vacunas contra el COVID-19 cumplen con los mismos estandares de cualquier otra vacuna que se ha producido.

Process

Most COVID-19 vaccines are given in two shots, one at a time, and spaced apart. The first shot gets your body ready. The second shot is given at least three weeks later to make sure you have full protection. If you are told you need two shots, make sure that you get both of them.

La mayoria de vacunas contra el COVID-19 se administran en dos dosis. La primera vacuna es para preparar el cuerpo. La segunda se administra al menos tres semanas despues para proteccion completa. Si le dicen que necesita dos vacunas, asegurese de recibir las dos.

Side Effects

The COVID-19 vaccines may cause side effects in some people, like sore muscles, feeling tired, or mild fever. These reactions mean the vaccine is working to help teach your body how to fight COVID-19 if you are exposed. Having these types of side effects does NOT mean that you have COVID-19.

Las vacuna contra el COVID-19 puede causar efectos secundarios en algunas personas, como dolor muscular, cansancio o fiebre leve. Estas reacciones significan que el cuerpo esta aprendiendo como combatir el virus. Estas reacciones NO significa que usted tiene COVID-19.
