The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine requires two doses separated by a minimum of 28 days. St. Anthony staff who received the first shots Tuesday will receive their second immunization on Jan. 19. Common side effects include pain and swelling at the injection site and could include fever, chills, lethargy and headache. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports side effects could be flu-like, but should subside in a few days. Even if you have had side effects, the second immunization should be completed for the vaccine to be effective. It may take up to two weeks after the second inoculation to be protected from COVID exposure. They advise patients contact their healthcare provider if the redness or tenderness increases after 24 hours or if the other side effects do not subside in a few days. Area healthcare facilities will be notifying patients when they are eligible to receive the vaccine.
