I Had COVID-19 Already And Have Some Immunity. Should I Get Vaccinated?
|
|
|
The CDC recommends that those who have had COVID-19 get the vaccine. Due to the severe health risks associated with COVID-19 and the fact that reinfection with COVID-19 is possible, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19 infection. Research shows that individuals who are vaccinated after recovering from COVID-19 have an immune response 1,000 times stronger after being vaccinated than those who are not vaccinated. The vaccine may provide some immunity against other COVID-19 strains that does not occur after natural infection. If you were treated for COVID-19 symptoms with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you should wait 90 days before getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure what treatments you received, or if you have more questions about getting a COVID-19 vaccine.

Who Should Not Get The Vaccine?
Scientists, researchers, and doctors recommend the COVID-19 vaccine for nearly everyone. The only individuals who should not receive the vaccine are those who have a history of severe allergic reaction (such as anaphylaxis, requiring epinephrine injection or hospitalization) to this vaccine or any of its ingredients, including polyethylene glycol (PEG) for the mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) and polysorbate for the Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) vaccine

Johnson And Johnson Vaccine Update
This Friday, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) will meet again to discuss additional data regarding the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. On April 13th, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration recommended a temporary pause on the use of the J&J vaccine. Of the nearly 7 million J&J doses administered so far in the United States, a small number of cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot have been reported in people after receiving this vaccine. All reports occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination.
The primary goal of the pause is to understand all of the information available, and to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for this rare adverse event and can recognize and manage this unique type of blood clot.
At this time there is no verified link between the development of blood clots and the J&J vaccine.
