After getting vaccinated do you get or spread Covid ?

It  is important for everyone to wait the full two weeks after the second shot for the body to build up immunity. However, he also said everyone needs to keep taking precautions until more of the population is vaccinated.

Although the nation has reached an important milestone in expanding coronavirus vaccine eligibility to all adults, public health experts in Massachusetts warn that the pandemic isn't over.  We’re in a complicated stage where some are vaccinated and some aren't," Kobayashi said. "It is really important to remember - even as vaccines become available - it doesn’t mean everyone is vaccinated. We still have to wait for a large number of population to be vaccinated." We have arrived at this important stage and we are close to the end, but this is not the end,"

At what point should you call a doctor?

In most cases, discomfort from pain or fever is a normal sign that your body is building protection, the CDC states. Still, the agency recommends you contact your doctor or healthcare provider if:

The redness or tenderness where you got the shot gets worse after 24 hours

Your side effects are worrying you or do not seem to be going away after a few days

Anyone who believes they are experiencing a severe allergic reaction after leaving the vaccination site should also seek immediate medical care by calling 120.

When do the side effects start and how long do they last?

Side effects usually start within a day or two of getting the vaccine, but they should also go away "in a few days."

Are side effects more likely after the first or second dose?

With the two-shot vaccines, people are more likely to report side effects after their second dose, experts have said.

There are also some factors that could make you more likely to experience side effects.

Experts say younger people are more likely to experience side effects because they have more robust immune systems.

Women are much more likely to report side effects than men. Some of this may be because they may just be better reporters, but it could be more than just that.
