COVID Vaccination Facts
How do COVID-19 vaccines work? COVID-19 vaccines teach our bodies to fight the virus that causes COVID-19 without us having to get the illness. Learn more: CDC How COVID-19 Vaccines Work
The COVID-19 vaccines in use or in testing in the United States cannot give you COVID-19 because they do not use the live virus that causes COVID-19. You may have side effects like a sore arm or fever after you get a vaccine. This is normal and a sign that your immune system is learning how to recognize and fight the COVID-19 virus.
