About the Vaccine
What is the COVID-19 vaccine?
The COVID-19 vaccine is a safe and effective shot into your upper arm, just like the flu shot you probably get every year. The vaccination will help protect you from the virus and will also help keep your family, friends, and community safe. By getting the vaccine we’ll be a step closer to returning to life as normal! The vaccine is free for everyone even if you don’t have insurance so you can schedule an appointment to receive it as soon as possible.
