So you got an appointment to get theCOVID vaccineIt's in your calendar and you plan to access the vaccination site - or maybe you've already had yours. Well done. There is only one more important step to make sure you protect yourself and whatnotdo just after getting the vaccine. Disease and Prevention Control Centers (CDC) compiled a list of potential errors to avoid. Here are the most important five. Read on and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseSigns that your illness is actually coronavirus in disguise.
Do not leave immediately
The CDC recommends that you stay on the vaccine site for 15 minutes after your injection to ensure you do not have an allergic reaction to shot. The exception: If you have a history of severe allergic reactions, you should wait on the site for half an hour.
Do not ignore an allergic reaction
Allergic reactions are very rare, but if you have one, health care providers on the vaccine site are trained to help you. The most common allergic reaction is anaphylaxis, swelling of the respiratory tract that can be fatal. Once again, it's extremely rare! But know that you should immediately inform the staff on site if you feel sick, just after getting the vaccine.
Do not be surprised by these side effects
According to the CDC, the most common side effects of the Covid vaccine are pain, redness or swelling on the injection site; tired; headache; muscle pain; fever; chills; and nausea. You could also develop a "Covid arm", a rash or swelling of your injection arm, which may appear a week or a week after your vaccine. Side effects are a good sign - they mean that your body is preparing an immune response. (On the other hand, do not have side effects does not mean that the vaccine does not work.)
Do not stop wearing masks
"We are always learning how vaccines will affect COVID-19 propagation," says the CDC. "After being fully vaccinated against Covid-19, you should continue to take precautions in public places like wearing a mask, separated six feet others, and avoid crowds and poorly ventilated areas until we know more."
If you have been fully vaccinated, it is correct to gather with others not masked in some situations, the CDC says. You can delete your mask if you are fully vaccinated and gather inside with other entirely vaccinated people, or if you gather inside with non-vaccinated members of another household. (But if you will be around any person at risk of gravel Covid-19, it is better to hide.)
Do not travel
The CDC still urges Americans to avoid national and international travel, even after being vaccinated. "The trip increases your chances of spreading and becoming Covid-19, "says the agency." CDC recommends that you do not travel at that time. Delay travel and stay at home to protect yourself and others from Covid-19. "
