The first dose will not produce enough of an immune response to protect you or others. The second dose should provide approximately 95% protection within one to two weeks after administration, depending on the vaccine.

Even after you are fully vaccinated you may still be a silent carrier of the coronavirus. Vaccines do not stop the coronavirus from entering your body; they only prevent you from developing moderate to severe COVID-19.

Continue to wear a mask over your nose and mouth, stay at least 6 feet away from others, avoid crowds and crowded and poorly ventilated spaces, and wash your hands often for at least 20 full seconds.

When you receive your vaccine, you will be asked several questions about your medical history to determine whether you are an appropriate candidate to receive the vaccine.

CDC considers a history of the following to be a contraindication to vaccination with both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines:

• Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components
• Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components (including polyethylene glycol [PEG])*
• Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to polysorbate (due to potential cross-reactive hypersensitivity with the vaccine ingredient PEG)

Depending on your health status and physician recommendations, you may be able to receive a COVID vaccine even if you suffer from prolonged inflammatory responses to the virus. Long-hauler symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, aches, pains, headaches and more for months after the virus has left the system.

If you have tested positive for Covid-19 or been exposed to someone who has the illness, you should not go to the vaccination site to get your shot until your symptoms and quarantine period have passed. Wait to get the shot until your provider says it is OK to get the vaccine.

• If you have to cancel, make sure you call ahead to your Canyonlands location or login to the Arizona Patient Portal to cancel your registration so that someone else can get vaccinated.
• Immunize in your community or county if possible.
• Register with your home address, DOB and work information. If you lie on your registration, the offense could be punishable by law.
• Be prepared with your ID to show that you qualify.
• Continue to wear a mask and social distance.
