Vaccination is a critical next step in moving forward through this pandemic. With the recent approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the first COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech, we understand that community members have questions about the vaccine.  Our partners in public health at Snohomish Health District have assembled a list of Frequently Asked Questions that help provide clarity and context.

Questions include:

• How effective is the COVID-19 vaccine?
• Is the vaccine safe?
• How many doses do I need?
• Who will get the vaccine first?

Learn this and more by visiting Snohomish Health District’s COVID Vaccine FAQ page.

Another simple explanation for many of the common questions is the Mayo Clinic’s COVID-19 Vaccine: Get the Facts page.
