#COVID19 vaccines currently in development in the US do not use the live virus that causes COVID-19. Having symptoms like fever after you get a #vaccine is normal and a sign your immune system is learning to fight the virus. More COVID-19 vaccine facts: bit.ly/36bUm5W.

If you’ve had #COVID19, you may have some natural protection, or immunity, from the virus, but we don’t know how long that lasts. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can help you build immunity without risking getting sick, severe illness, even death.

Wearing a mask that fits snugly against the sides of your face provides more protection against #COVID19. Choose a cloth mask with multiple layers of tightly woven, breathable fabric. Nose wires may also improve mask fit.
