LET’S TALK ABOUT IT The COVID-19 vaccine CANNOT make you sick with COVID-19. None of the COVID-19 vaccines contain the live virus that cause the disease. This means that a COVID-19 vaccine CANNOT make you sick with COVID19. Researchers have been working on this vaccine strategy for more than a decade. While this is the first time messenger RNA (mRNA) is being widely used in a vaccine for the public, the vaccine strategy used for the COVID-19 vaccines has been worked on by researchers for decades. You can get COVID-19 again. Re-infection with COVID-19 is possible, and the vaccine is recommended regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. The COVID-19 vaccine CANNOT change or interact with your DNA. The messenger RNA (mRNA), from the COVID-19 vaccine never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA is kept. The mRNA from the vaccine cannot change or alter our DNA in any way. Can I “Mix & Match” using a different injection provider for my 2nd shot? No, use the same provider for both your first and second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. What if I can’t get my 2nd injection on the recommended date? Though there is a minimum number of days you have to wait to receive your second dose, there is NO MAXIMUM number of days you need to receive the second dose. The vaccine simply becomes more effective after both doses have been received.
