What to expect at your vaccination appointment:

• You will receive a vaccination card or printout that tells you what COVID-19 vaccine you received, the date you received it, and where you received it.
   

• You should receive a paper or electronic version of a fact sheet that tells you more about the specific COVID-19 vaccine you are being offered. Each authorized COVID-19 vaccine has its own fact sheet that contains information to help you understand the risks and benefits of receiving that specific vaccine.
  Moderna fact sheet
  Pfizer fact sheet
   

• You should stay at the place where you got vaccinated for 15-30 minutes after you get the vaccine to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction that needs medical attention.
   

• It’s normal to have mild to moderate side effects a few days after getting a vaccine.
  ​

• You should get two doses of the vaccine unless a healthcare provider or your doctor tells you to not get it. 
   

• It takes time for your body to build immunity and protection after any vaccination.
