ACIP will make further recommendations on the use of boosters for the public after a thorough review of the evidence.

      Key Things to Know

      • COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.

      • You may have side effects after vaccination, but these are normal.

      • It typically takes two weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the 2nd dose of a two-dose vaccine or two weeks after a one-dose vaccine.

      • COVID-19 vaccines are more widely accessible. Everyone 16 years and older is now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination. Find a COVID-19 vaccine.

      • People who have been fully vaccinated can start to do some things that they had stopped doing because of the pandemic.
