We recognize people have questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. The CDC has great information, we thought we’d share some. You can find more detail at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/index.html.

We pulled this information out about things we know, and things we are still learning.

1) We know that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at preventing COVID-19 disease, especially severe illness and death.

- We’re still learning how effective the vaccines are against variants of the virus that causes COVID-19. Early data show the vaccines may work against some variants but could be less effective against others.

2) We know that other prevention steps (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html) help stop the spread of COVID-19, and that these steps are still important, even as vaccines are being distributed.

- We’re still learning how well COVID-19 vaccines keep people from spreading the disease.

- Early data show that the vaccines may help keep people from spreading COVID-19, but we are learning more as more people get vaccinated.

3) We’re still learning how long COVID-19 vaccines can protect people.

4) As we know more, CDC will continue to update our recommendations for both vaccinated and unvaccinated people.

What are the benefits of vaccination?

1) The COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States have been shown to be highly effective at preventing COVID-19 and it is a safe way to build protection against a serious, potentially life-threatening disease.
2) After being fully vaccinated, you can:

- gather indoors with other fully vaccinated people without a mask
- gather indoors with unvaccinated people from ONE other household without masks (for example, visiting with relatives who all live together, as long as no one has symptoms).

3) If you have been around someone who tested positive for COVID-19 and you have been fully vaccinated, you will not need to quarantine or get tested UNLESS you have symptoms.
4) COVID-19 vaccines were tested in large clinical trials to make sure they meet safety standards and have been held to the same safety standards as all other vaccines.

Even if you are fully vaccinated, you will still need to follow guidance at your workplace and/or public spaces. We encourage you to schedule your vaccine today.
