Information for Georgia Residents

COVID-19 vaccines have passed rigorous reviews and are highly effective.

Scientists had a significant head start developing the COVID-19 vaccines. COVID-19 is very similar to other viruses, which already have vaccines.

Testing was thorough and successful. All COVID-19 vaccines were tested in clinical trials involving tens of thousands of people to make sure they meet safety standards and protect adults of different races, ethnicities, and ages.

There is no COVID-19 virus in the vaccine. The vaccine imitates the infection so that our bodies create antibody defenses to fight off COVID-19.

Side effects are mild, temporary, and normal signs that your body is building protection. You may experience pain and swelling in the arm of the injection. Throughout the rest of your body, you may experience fever, chills, tiredness, and headaches.

Get the Vaccine

Be sure to arrive on time to your appointment.
If you have it, bring your identification card and health insurance information.
Your provider may also require you to fill out some paperwork ahead of time.
When you receive the COVID-19 vaccine, the provider should give you a vaccination card that lists which vaccine you received, the date you received it, and where you received it. Please keep this card for your records.
You may be asked to remain resting for up to 30 minutes after being vaccinated so you can be observed for any allergic reaction.
The vaccine may require two doses for the most protection. Please confirm your next appointment for your second dose with your provider before leaving. Verify you will receive two doses of the same vaccine. See which vaccines require two shots and the timing between each dose.

Next Steps

Monitor your health for any side effects. Common side effects, such as headaches and tiredness, may last for a few days after you receive your vaccine. These are temporary and a sign that your body is building protection against the coronavirus. Read more about common side effects from the COVID-19 vaccines. If you have a severe allergic reaction, call 911.
If you are fully vaccinated, continue to take precautions in public places to stop the spread of COVID-19. Guidance for fully vaccinated people.
