Question 9

UPDATED Are the FDA-authorized vaccines effective against new COVID-19 variants?

Accepted Answer

Viruses commonly change through mutation and new variants are expected over time. The new variants of COVID-19 are reported to spread more easily and quickly. Scientists are working hard to learn more about them. Early reports found no evidence to suggest that the variant has an impact on the vaccine’s intended results (efficacy). Preliminary research released from the makers of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines show that the vaccine provides some protection from the new COVID-19 variants. It’s important to continue taking some precautions. Getting both doses of either vaccine on time is just one of the ways you can help prevent the spread of COVID-19. After getting the vaccine, the best ways to help keep you and your family safe from COVID-19 are to: Wash your hands often and disinfect frequently touched surfaces. Wear a mask over your nose and mouth when around others. Remember to check your state’s guidance on wearing masks in public spaces. Avoid crowds and stay at least six feet away from people outside of your household. Monitor your health for any COVID-19 symptms. Stay home if you are sick.

Question 10

UPDATED: Can I stop taking precautions after I receive a vaccine?

Accepted Answer

The precautions you take depend on your personal circumstances, vaccination status, and state rules. Visit your state’s COVID sites for updates to guidance. Getting both doses of the vaccine on time is just one of the ways you can help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, however, is only one dose.

You are fully vaccinated when you have: Received both vaccine doses (The Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, however, is only one dose.) and It has been at least two weeks since your last dose. You can find the most up to date recommendations on the CDC’s website. You should always check your state’s guidance for specific instructions.
