COVID-19 Vaccine: What you need to know.

Question: Can I still get Covid after the Vaccine?

Question:  Does the WHO recommend the Covid vaccine for children?

Answer: The WHO states that since they tend to experience mild disease symptoms compared to adults, they aren't in urgent need for vaccinations unless they have a pre-existing condition. Instead, vaccines should be prioritized to those with conditions, health care workers, and older individuals.

Question:  When do you get the second Covid vaccine?

Answer: The federal government's expert vaccine advisory panel currently recommends that the Pfizer vaccine is given three weeks apart, while people who've had their AstraZeneca jab are advised to wait 12 weeks before getting their second dose.

Question: Will I test positive after Covid vaccine?

Answer: Getting vaccinated won't make you show up as positive on PCR tests. That's because these tests look for copies of the genetic material of the virus as an indication that you have been infected.

Question: Can over 60 get Pfizer vaccine?

Answer: People over 60 will get the AstraZeneca vaccine, while the Pfizer vaccine is preferred for people under 60.
