The Dos and Don’ts of Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine

the-dos-and-don’ts-of-getting-the-covid-19-vaccine

As of this writing, around 181.4 million people in the country are fully vaccinated to protect against COVID-19. Although vaccines have been around for decades, the novelty of the COVID-19 vaccine has caused some hesitation and anxiety in some people. The best way to curb worrisome thoughts is to be prepared. As a pharmacy in Kissimmee, Florida, we will share the dos and don’ts of getting the COVID-19 vaccine:

  • Do accept the available vaccine.
    All available vaccines in the country are effective in protecting you from serious infection caused by the coronavirus. The approved and authorized vaccines in the U.S. include Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson. Hence, it is best to avoid “vaccine shopping” and take whichever vaccine is available to you.
  • Don’t forget to plan ahead for side effects.
    Commonly reported side effects after vaccination includes fever, chills, and local pain at the injection site. The CDC recommends over-the-counter medicine like ibuprofen and aspirin. To prepare for potential side effects, be sure to stock up on OTCs at your local diabetes care pharmacy in Florida.
  • Do consult your physician beforehand.
    Before your appointment, ask your physician if it is safe for you to get the vaccine. This is especially important if you have existing health issues or if you take other prescription medications. If you have an autoimmune condition, allergies, or take certain medications that suppress your immune system, your physician can recommend the best course of action.
