Health questions.
I have a letter from my health care provider indicating I am extremely vulnerable to COVID-19. Can I get a vaccine at Nurse Mentors with the letter if I am not aged 65 years or older, a resident or staff of a long-term care facility, or quality as healthcare personnel with direct patient contact?
No. At this time, Nurse Mentors are not able to administer the vaccine to persons deemed to be extremely vulnerable to COVID-19 unless such individuals are aged 65 years or older, are a resident or staff of a long term care facility, or qualify as healthcare personnel with direct patient contact. In Florida, Governor DeSantis’ executive order permits hospitals, but not pharmacies, to vaccinate extremely vulnerable individuals based on that status alone.
Why should I get the vaccine?
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), getting the COVID-19 vaccine provides an additional layer of protection that will help keep you safe, in addition to following CDC-recommended social distancing practices.*
Do I still need to practice social distancing and wear a mask if I receive the vaccine?
According to the CDC, yes, you should still wear a mask, practice social distancing, and wash your hands frequently even if you receive the vaccine.
I already had COVID-19 and recovered. Will the vaccine provide any benefit to me?
Yes. The CDC recommends you still receive the vaccine. For more information regarding your health, please talk to your primary care physician.
What are the most common side effects?
Some common side effects at the injection site include soreness, redness, or warmth to the touch. Some people report chills, fatigue, headache, or fever after getting the vaccine, especially the second dose. For more details about side effects of the vaccines approved for emergency use, visit the CDC’s website.*
How can I report any severe side effects or issues that I have?
Upon receiving the vaccine, you will be given information about where to report adverse effects, including the CDC’s new V-safe system. For details about the CDC’s V-safe program, visit the CDC’s website. You can also complete a Vaccine Adverse Event Report System (VAERS) report online. For details and to make a report, visit the VAERS website.*
If you experience a severe allergic reaction, the FDA recommends you call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.
Can I get COVID-19 from the vaccine?
According to the CDC, no.* Currently authorized vaccines do not contain the live COVID-19 virus. The vaccine carries genetic material that allows your immune system to create antibodies that will combat the COVID-19 virus.
