It\u2019s almost time to roll up your sleeve and get the COVID-19 vaccine. But before you head to your appointment, it’s important to make sure you’re prepared. From resting up to gathering documents, these eight tips tell you what to do and know to get ready for your shot(s).<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

1) Time it right. <\/b>The COVID-19 vaccine should be spaced out with other vaccines you might need, mainly because there\u2019s no data on its effectiveness when given right before or after other shots. <\/span>The CDC recommends waiting at least 14 days before and after the COVID vaccine<\/span><\/a> to get other vaccines, like the flu or shingles shot. (Most vaccination sites will ask you about recent vaccines.) \u201cSome people are choosing to defer routine vaccines because they know they\u2019re soon going to be a part of a group that\u2019s eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine,\u201d says Dr. Natasha Bhuyan, a family physician at One Medical in Phoenix. <\/span>Also, if you have a history of reacting to vaccines, see if you can take the next day off work so you can rest at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Get familiar with the vaccine site. <\/b>\u201cThe most important thing is to figure out the logistics,\u201d says Dr. Linda Yancey, infectious disease specialist with Memorial Hermann hospital, a vaccine hub in Houston. If you\u2019re going to a hospital or other facility you\u2019re not familiar with, budget enough time to get there early and figure out where you\u2019ll park, if you\u2019re driving. If you want to bring a friend or family member, check whether it\u2019s allowed. Most vaccination sites are asking that only people with appointments come, with exceptions made for those who need extra assistance.<\/p>\n

3) Pay attention to your phone. <\/b>In the days leading up to your appointment, you\u2019ll likely receive a confirmation email or text from the vaccine site. Make sure you respond if you\u2019re asked to. If you don\u2019t receive a text or email, you may want to check with the site to make sure everything worked during sign-up and ensure you\u2019re still on the schedule. You’ll also want to keep an eye on your email or texts on the off chance your site runs out of vaccine doses and has to cancel or reschedule your appointment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Stock up on supplies. <\/b>After receiving the vaccine, many people are reporting mild symptoms including arm soreness, fatigue and even a short-lived fever. These side effects\u00a0 may be more intense after the second vaccine dose, compared to the first. Check your medicine cabinet to make sure you have a pain reliever or antihistamine on hand in case you need it, and know side effects are normal. \u201cWhen you have side effects from a vaccine, it means the vaccine is working,\u201d says Bhuyan. And if you\u2019re lucky enough not to have side effects, the vaccine is still working, she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Get rest and eat first. <\/b>A few studies have found links between sleep and how the body responds to vaccines. In<\/span> one study,<\/span><\/a> the<\/span> flu shot appeared to be more effective in people who got two nights of sufficient sleep before they got the shot. Also, eat before you go since, once inside the vaccination site, you won\u2019t be able to remove your mask and you might have a long wait time. \u201cYou want some food in your stomach and some fluid in your system,\u201d Yancey says.<\/span><\/p>\n

6) Bring your documents. <\/b>While many areas aren\u2019t requiring people to show an ID to get the vaccine, others are. <\/span>Florida started <\/span><\/a>r<\/span>equiring people to show proof of state residency for vaccination<\/span> following an influx of <\/span>out-of-state and foreign visitors arriving to get the shot. It can\u2019t hurt to bring your driver\u2019s license or state ID and proof of health insurance (if you’re insured), says <\/span>Yancey. \u201cI would hate for people to get to a site that just started requiring proof of ID and then be turned away.\u201d If you live in a state where you\u2019re getting the vaccine because you\u2019re an essential worker, bring proof of employment. During your appointment, you\u2019ll get a vaccination card stating which vaccine you received, as well as the date and site of your appointment. Choose a safe place to store the card on your way home. If you\u2019re getting a second dose, bring the card with you to your appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

7) Build in waiting time. <\/b>Be prepared to wait if the site is behind schedule. \u201cIt might take a lot longer than you anticipate,\u201d says Dr. Nhu Hang, a family physician at MultiCare in Olympia. \u201cBring a book.\u201d Once you\u2019ve had your shot, you\u2019ll need to stay for observation to make sure you don\u2019t react. So, don\u2019t schedule a work Zoom for right after your appointment. People with a history of allergic reactions to vaccines are waiting around 30 minutes; others are staying for 15 minutes. Let site staff at know if you\u2019ve had an allergic reaction to a vaccine in the past.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8) Stay home if you\u2019re sick. <\/b>In general, \u201cif you don\u2019t feel well, you should probably reschedule your vaccination,\u201d says Hang. \u201cYou should ideally be in good health when you go in.\u201d If you have COVID-19 symptoms, you won\u2019t be allowed at the vaccination site. You\u2019ll need to get tested, and if you get a positive result, you\u2019ll have to quarantine for 10 days and be symptom-free before getting the shot. If you\u2019ve had COVID and you were treated with certain therapies like <\/span>monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, <\/span>the CDC advises waiting 90 days before you get the vaccine<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Some sites might encourage people who\u2019ve had COVID to wait to get the vaccine and let others go first since reinfection within 90 days is thought to be rare, says Hang.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you get the vaccine, Hang says to sign up for the <\/span>CDC\u2019s V-safe app<\/span><\/a> to report any side effects. The app also reminds you if you still need a second dose. Yancy says that even after vaccination it\u2019s important to continue to follow COVID-19 safety measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t think you\u2019re bullet proof yet,\u201d she says. For one thing, it takes <\/span>a minimum of seven days after the second dose<\/span><\/a> for the full benefit to kick in. Experts also still aren\u2019t sure whether or not people who\u2019ve been vaccinated can transmit the virus to others. \u201cUntil we know whether or not that\u2019s true, we\u2019re still asking people to wear mask,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n
