COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. To date, hundreds of millions of people have safely received a COVID-19 vaccine under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, you may have some side effects following administration of a COVID-19 vaccine. Common side effects may include pain and/or tenderness of the arm where you got the shot, headache, fever, chills and/or fatigue.

CVS Health® immunizers include trained pharmacists, pharmacy interns and pharmacy technicians, as well as other qualified health care professionals, depending on state-specific regulations. All CVS Health immunizers are certified according to company requirements, are trained in the administration of immunizations and hold an active CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) certification.

Per guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, patients age 5 or older do not have to match the COVID-19 vaccine dose they receive to the brand they received during their primary series or any previous dose(s). For children ages 6 months through 4 years, vaccination with the same COVID-19 vaccine brand is recommended.

Yes. CVS Pharmacy® and MinuteClinic® locations offer COVID-19 vaccines that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends. People ages 65 years and older should receive the recommended number of dose(s) of updated (2023-2024 Formula) mRNA or Novavax vaccine.

In addition, as we get older, our immune systems tend to weaken over time, putting us at higher risk for certain infections. All adults ages 65 and older should make sure they're up to date on these vaccines, too:

• Vacuna contra la gripe

• Pneumococcal vaccine

• Vacuna contra el herpes zóster (zoster)

• DPTa (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, also called whooping cough) or Td (tetanus and diphtheria)

You may need other vaccines based on your age or other factors, too. Talk with your doctor to learn which vaccines are recommended for you. This may include:

• RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) — adults aged 60 years or older should talk to their health care provider about getting a single dose of RSV vaccine
