If you are fully vaccinated, should you still get tested for COVID-19? If so, how often?
You should consider getting tested if you have been exposed to someone who is COVID-19 positive and you are showing symptoms of COVID.

Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are designed as a two-shot regimen. Two weeks after the second shot, you are 90% to 95% covered from COVID-19.
