REACTIONS AND WAIT TIME
Immediately after receiving the vaccine, you will be required to wait for 15 minutes. If you have a previous history of anaphylactic reaction, you will be required to stay for 30 minutes instead. Most reactions to the vaccine often occur shortly following receiving the vaccine, so we will require you to stick around for a bit to ensure you don’t have an adverse reaction.
The most commonly reported side effects, which typically last several days, are pain at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, joint pain, and fever. Often, more people experience these side effects after the second dose than after the first dose. If you experience the aforementioned side effects for more than 48 hours after you received the shot, contact your primary care physician.
RECEIVING THE VACCINE IF YOU HAD COVID-19
You must be free of COVID-19 symptoms and feeling well at the time of receiving the vaccine.
IMMUNITY TO THE VIRUS
After receiving the vaccine, you will not gain immunity immediately. Weeks after your first shot, you will have some resistance to the virus. Completing a primary series gives you a higher percentage of immunity to the virus.
Additionally, if you become immune to the virus after receiving the vaccine, you can still carry and spread the virus to others who are not immune.
COVID-19 TESTING
If you need to be tested for COVID-19, JCMG has several options available.
