Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be monitored medically after receiving the vaccine and if so, for how long?

FAQs
The primary post-vaccination medical monitoring is the evaluation of the vaccination site at day 6 to 8 to determine if your vaccination "took." This should be done by a medical professional trained to make such determination. After receiving proper training, members should be able to determine if they are experiencing an adverse reaction requiring medical evaluation. The most severe reactions to the vaccine typically occur within 9 days of receiving the vaccination.

How long does immunity last after getting a vaccine?

Frequently Asked Questions About Immunizations
A few vaccines, like the one for measles or the series for hepatitis B, may make you immune for your entire life.
