- When it is your turn to get a vaccine, consider wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with, if necessary because of the weather, an easily removable sweater or shirt over top.
- As of May 12, 2021, the CDC has changed its previous guidelines to allow individuals to get other vaccines at the same time as the COVID-19, so there is no longer a two-week waiting period before the first dose and after the second dose.
