In announcing the vaccine availability, the two giant retailers answered some frequently asked questions about the vaccines.
Q- Why should I get vaccinated?
A- Getting the COVID-19 vaccine not only helps protect you, but also those around you who are not yet eligible to get the vaccine or are extra-vulnerable. By doing so, you’re performing an act of service for your community and freeing up health care resources for those in need with other health conditions. To learn more visit here.
Q- Is the vaccine safe?
A- Yes! The vaccine is safe and more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 after two doses. When you receive your first dose, we will schedule your appointment for the second dose. It is absolutely necessary that you receive both doses.
Q- Can the COVID-19 vaccine give you COVID-19?
A- No! The vaccine cannot give you COVID-19.
