COVID-19 Vaccine Basics

This information is current as of the date of original publication or update but may have changed by the time you read this. Do not use this information for diagnosis or treatment purposes. Before making health decisions, discuss with a qualified healthcare professional.

I received my first COVID-19 vaccination on January 6, 2021, a date that is easy to remember for the wrong reason.

(On that day, the United States Capitol was attacked by a crowd, attempting to stop the certification of the 202 Presidential election. The Capitol sustained significant damage and the lives of Congress members and the Vice President were threatened.)

Since then I have received all recommended boosters. And I have never had COVID-19, even when my husband had it. He had been fully vaccinated and had a mild case.
