The Do’s and Don’ts After Getting The Coronavirus Vaccine

Protecting myself

As the coronavirus vaccine gets rolled out, persons have a lot of questions. One that pops up often is “Can we go back to how things were now?”. The answer is a complicated one. While getting the vaccine is an important step, there are some things that still won’t change. Here’s what you need to know.

That means, there’s still a risk of being infected with COVID-19. This is on top of the fact that there are variations of the virus against which the current vaccines may not be effective at all.

Additionally, scientists still don’t have enough information to determine if persons who’ve been vaccinated can still carry the virus and infect others.
