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.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports side effects could be flu-like, but should subside in a few days.
