Questions about COVID-19 vaccine, “You Asked, We Answered”

The “You Asked, We Answered” series addresses COVID-19 questions that matter to Veterans and those they care about.

You have questions.

“I already had COVID-19. Do I still need the vaccine?”

“Once I’m vaccinated, how soon will I be protected?”

“Is the vaccine safe?”

“What about the Delta variant?”

We’ve received many questions from Veterans, family members and caregivers about COVID-19 vaccines.

Some people are concerned that they may be allergic to the vaccine or may suffer from side effects. Others are cancer survivors, or currently are being treated for cancer, and wonder if they can get vaccinated safely. Some are pregnant and wonder how receiving the vaccine will affect themselves and their unborn child.

Some are simply uncertain about receiving the vaccine and whether it’s right for them.
