Kentucky Vaccine information in Spanish.
There is no cost to get the vaccine. The federal government has purchased all vaccines being administered in the United States.
United States scientific studies show the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and very effective. All approved vaccines have gone through the same vaccine safety system as other vaccines produced over the years.
The vaccine cannot give you the disease and will help you keep from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19. Once you receive the vaccine, you may experience some side effects, like sore muscles, feeling tired, or getting a mild fever. Having these side effects does not mean you have COVID-19, it merely means the vaccine is working to teach your body how to fight COVID-19.
Different vaccines require different handling processes and follow-up schedules.
