Detroiters Urged to Take Preventive Measures Against the Spread of RSV
Bivalent Boosters Now Available for Children Ages 5+
COVID-19 Vaccines Now Available for Children Six Months and Older
While COVID-19 vaccines were developed rapidly, all steps were taken to make sure they are safe and effective:
The goal for the vaccine is to teach our immune systems how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19. Sometimes this process can cause symptoms, such as fever. These symptoms are normal and are a sign that the body is building immunity.
The CDC has recommended that pregnant women and women planning to become pregnant may be offered the vaccine, in consultation with their health care provider.
Among those people who reported side effects, it included local reactions (including itching, pain, or redness at the injection site), some reported systemic reactions (mostly fatigue, muscle aches, and headaches), typically the day after the shot.
You can get a COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines, including a flu vaccine, at the same visit. Experience with other vaccines has shown that the way our bodies develop protection, known as an immune response, and possible side effects after getting vaccinated are generally the same when given alone or with other vaccines.
