What to Expect When Getting Vaccinated
You may be wondering what to expect when getting your COVID-19 vaccine. Besides side-effects, you may be wondering what happens before, during and after your appointment.
Before making a vaccine appointment, investigate the different vaccine types.
The FDA and CDC are allowing for mixing and matching of COVID-19 vaccines for booster shots. If you have a preference between vaccine types, you may need to call around to local clinics to see what vaccine types they have on hand.
