COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. They have undergone extensive testing and monitoring which has shown them to be safe. The vaccines help prevent you from getting and spreading COVID-19, and may also protect people around you from getting severely ill. Once fully vaccinated, which takes 2 weeks after the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or the single dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine, you can resume many pre-pandemic activities without a mask or social distancing. While we still have more to learn, getting vaccinated is safer than getting COVID-19, as the virus can cause serious illness, death, and long-term health problems even in those who had no symptoms.

Benefits of Getting Vaccinated

Updated June 15, 2021

COVID-19 vaccines are safe

COVID-19 vaccines were developed using science that has been around for decades.

COVID-19 vaccines are not experimental. They went through all the required stages of clinical trials.
Extensive testing and monitoring have shown that these vaccines are safe and effective.

COVID-19 vaccines have received and continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S.
history. Learn more about how federal partners are ensuring COVID-19 vaccines work.

COVID-19 vaccines are effective

COVID 19-vaccines are effective. They can keep you from getting and spreading the virus that causes
COVID-19. Learn more about the different COVID-19 vaccines.

COVID-19 vaccines also help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19.

Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for
severe illness from COVID-19.

Once you are fully vaccinated, you can start doing more

After you are fully vaccinated for COVID-19, you can resume many activities that you did before the
pandemic. You can resume activities without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart, except where
required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business
and workplace guidance.

People are not considered fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after their second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech
or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, or 2 weeks after a single-dose of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19
vaccine. You should keep using all the tools available to protect yourself and others until you are fully
vaccinated.

Learn more about COVID-19 vaccination for people with underlying medical conditions or weakened
immune systems.

COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to help build protection

Get vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. Studies have shown that vaccination
provides a strong boost in protection in people who have recovered from COVID-19,.

Learn more about the clinical considerations for people were treated for COVID-19 with monoclonal
antibodies or convalescent plasma, or history of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults or
children (MIS-A or MIS-C).
COVID-19 is still a threat to people who are unvaccinated. Some people who get COVID-19 can become
severely ill, which could result in hospitalization, and some people have ongoing health problems several
weeks or even longer after getting infected. Even people who did not have symptoms when they were
infected can have these ongoing health problems.

Immunity after COVID-19 vaccination

There is still a lot we are learning about COVID-19 vaccines and CDC is constantly reviewing evidence
and updating guidance. We don’t know how long protection lasts for those who are vaccinated.

What we do know is that COVID-19 has caused very serious illness and death for a lot of people.

If you get COVID-19, you also risk giving it to loved ones who may get very sick. Getting a COVID-19
vaccine is a safer choice.

At this time, there are limited data on vaccine effectiveness in people who are immunocompromised,
including those taking immunosuppressive medications. Learn more about the considerations for fully
vaccinated people who are immunocompromised.

None of the COVID-19 vaccines can make you sick with COVID-19

None of the COVID-19 vaccines contain the live virus that causes COVID-19 so a COVID-19 vaccine
cannot make you sick with COVID-19. Learn more Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines
