A CDC report gives options for wearing masks to better protect you and others from COVID-19. Wearing a disposable mask under a cloth mask can improve fit and give you better protection.
-
To prevent the spread of germs, including COVID-19, CDC recommends washing hands with soap and water whenever possible. If soap and water are not readily available, using a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol can help you avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Properly apply alcohol-based sanitizer by rubbing the gel over all surfaces of your hands and fingers until your hands are dry. Do Not:
- Rinse or wipe off the alcohol-based hand sanitizer before it’s dry
- Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer to clean surfaces
- Store alcohol-based hand sanitizer above 105°F
- Swallow alcohol-based hand sanitizers
- Q: How will I know when to get my second dose of COVID-19 vaccine?
-
A: Before you leave the vaccine location, make sure you know when and where to come back for your second dose, and put a reminder on your calendar. You can sign up for text message reminders about your second dose through VaxText by texting ENROLL to 1-833-Vaxtext (829-8398). VaxText is a free text messaging platform where you can opt in to receive text message reminders to get your second dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
- Q: I received a vaccination card when I got my COVID-19 vaccine. What is it for?
-
A: Your vaccination card has information on when and where you received your vaccine as well as other helpful information related to the COVID-19 vaccine. Be sure to keep your card in a safe place. You may also visit the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR) for an electronic version. Avoid taking pictures/selfies of your vaccination card or posting photos of your card online to protect your health information.
