COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you from getting COVID-19. You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days. If you have pain or discomfort, talk to your doctor about taking an over-the-counter medicine, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Common side effects include pain and swelling in the arm where you receive the shot.
- As vaccine distribution continues to grow, vaccine supply will be limited and vaccinations will be targeted to specific groups of people with a higher risk for COVID-19 infection. It will take time to reach all people within each target population and phase. Learn more about vaccine phases and eligibility in the following flyers:
