,The Covid-19 Vaccine Resource Center[14] is written for clinicians, but may provide some reassurance & context to patients, such as:
- Will vaccination prevent me from being hospitalized with COVID-19?
- Yes, 2 weeks after 2nd dose (rare breakthrough cases reportedyer
- Will vaccination prevent transmission of asymptomatic infection?
- it appears that vaccination will reduce or prevent transmission of asymptomatic infection
- see JAMA Patient Page for Johnson & Johnson vaccine[5]
- what to do if your current situation offers only a different vaccine than you received as your 1st vaccine (i.e. you got Pfizer vaccine as your first vaccine & your new health plan offers only the Moderna vaccine)[8]
- vaccination may not provide COVID-19 immunity in immunosuppressed patients[9]
