The vaccines are safe and effective.

Different vaccines require different doses. Pfizer or Moderna vaccines require a second dose. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine requires only one dose.

Some people have side effects. They might feel like they have the flu. This feeling lasts only a day or two.

People do not need any identification or insurance to get the vaccine. Immigrants can get the vaccine; their status does not matter.
