What does FDA approval mean for a COVID-19 vaccine?
The FDA rigorously and thoughtfully evaluated the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and granted full approval. The FDA gives approval after it has gathered even more scientific evidence to demonstrate COVID-19 vaccine safety and effectiveness. The data must also show that the vaccines can continue to be manufactured reliably, safely, and with consistent quality. Find a COVID-19 vaccine location near you at vaccines.gov. #CommunityImmunityWV
You can get a COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other vaccines.
Getting a COVID-19 vaccine does not affect when you can get other vaccines. For example, you can get the flu shot and COVID-19 vaccine on the same day, same week, or a time that works for you. You can protect yourself from more than one disease at the same time. #CommunityImmunityWV
COVID-19 vaccines are recommended for people who are pregnant.

¿Las vacunas impiden otras variantes de COVID-19?
Cuando las tasas de vacunación son bajas, el coronavirus puede propagarse fácilmente y cambiar a nuevas cepas (variantes). Cuando grandes sectores de la población de nuestras comunidades se vacunan contra COVID-19, esto ayuda a crear una barra de control de acceso contra el virus. Entre más rápido nos vacunamos, más rápido creamos una comunidad de inmunidad contra el virus y sus variantes. #ComunidadImunidadWV
¿Qué es una variante de COVID-19?
El virus cambia constantemente, creando nuevas cepas (o variantes) a lo largo del tiempo. Estas variantes son ligeramente diferentes de las cepas pasadas y pueden infectar a personas que anteriormente se enfermaron de COVID-19. Algunas variantes conducen a una enfermedad más grave, especialmente entre los más jóvenes. El vacunarse es la manera más segura de proteger a usted y a nuestras comunidades contra las variantes. #ComunidadImunidadWV
Dato sobre la vacuna: Se puede vacunar contra COVID-19 al mismo tiempo que recibe otras vacunas

COVID-19 vaccine booster doses are recommended for most people.
CDC recommends a #COVID19 vaccine booster shot to continue to provide maximum protection. To stay up to date, you are due for a single booster shot if you are:
• Age 12+ and got your Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine doses at least 5 months ago, or
• Age 18+ and got your Moderna COVID-19 vaccine doses at least 5 months ago, or
• Age 18+ and got the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine at least 2 months ago.
At this time, Pfizer is the only COVID-19 vaccine authorized for 12-17 year olds. Those 18+ can get any type of COVID-19 vaccine (J&J, Pfizer, or Moderna) as a booster, even if they had a different type of COVID-19 vaccine previously, but the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are preferred.

Omicron (General Impact/Healthcare caption)
Omicron is a strain of the coronavirus that is highly contagious. This variant is causing skyrocketing cases and hospitalizations from COVID-19 that are affecting children, teens, and adults of all ages. Healthcare systems in WV and across the US are strained. This strain makes care for everybody, including for routine injuries and illnesses, more challenging. The best way to protect yourself and those around you from hospitalization from the virus is COVID-19 vaccination. Learn more: vaccinate.wv.gov. #CommunityImmunityWV
Omicron (Impact on kids caption)
Omicron is a strain of the coronavirus that is spreading rapidly, leading to record-breaking case counts, including cases in children and teens. As more kids get COVID, more kids end up in the hospital. We’re now seeing the most children hospitalized with COVID-19 than ever before. Our greatest protection against hospitalization from COVID-19 is for everyone age 5 and older to get vaccinated and stay up to date. Find a vaccination location: vaccinate.wv.gov #CommunityImmunityWV

COVID-19 Vaccine Cost
#VaccineFact: Cost should not be a barrier for West Virginians. The federal government is providing COVID-19 vaccines for free. Any fee for administering the vaccine will be covered, so there is no cost for the person getting vaccinated. And people without health insurance can get #COVID19Vaccines at no cost. #CommunityImmunityWV
Safest Path
Vaccination is the safest path toward building a community of immunity, even if you’ve already had COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines have undergone the most rigorous safety monitoring in U.S. history and have been found to be safe and effective. Together, we can stop the pandemic and build #CommunityImmunityWV.
COVID-19 Vaccine Fact
When large portions of our communities get vaccinated, it helps create a firewall against the virus, disrupting its spread. Building a community of immunity begins with each one of us. Learn more at: www.vaccinate.wv.gov #CommunityImmunityWV
Vaccine Fact
What many people experience as a result of receiving the vaccine aren’t side effects, but rather the body’s immune system responding to the COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccines work with your immune system so it will be ready to fight the virus if you are exposed. Common immune responses are short-term injection site pain, swelling or redness, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, chills or fever. Learn more at: bit.ly/3jmo7Hk #CommunityImmunityWV
COVID-19 Vaccine Info Line
For questions about COVID-19 vaccines, please call the WV COVID-19 Vaccine Info Line. The info line is available Monday - Friday from 8 AM - 6 PM and Saturday from 9 AM - 5 PM. Or, visit vaccine.wv.gov for more information. #CommunityImmunityWV
Where can I get the COVID-19 vaccine?

Time specific, adjust caption as distribution shifts
How do the COVID-19 vaccines work?
The #COVID19 vaccines work by enabling the body’s immune system to build antibodies to recognize and fight the virus. The vaccines teach our cells how to recognize the spike protein of the virus that causes COVID-19 and activate an immune response to fight it off. This means that the COVID-19 vaccines cannot affect or interact with our DNA in any way. #CommunityImmunityWV
We're not done after dose one
It takes at least two doses of mRNA #COVID19 vaccine for maximum protection against #COVID19. It is important that we all continue to do our part to build #CommunityImmunityWV.
How have the COVID-19 vaccines been developed so quickly?
These vaccines resulted from a coordinated, global effort to fight #COVID19. Building on prior science, the vaccine research and development, clinical trials, manufacturing, and distribution planning occurred at the same time. This approach removed delays that occur when these processes happen one after the other. Steps to ensure safety were not eliminated. Learn more at: bit.ly/3jmo7Hk #CommunityImmunityWV

Yes. People who plan to become pregnant should receive the COVID-19 vaccine. There is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines affect fertility.

For people who are already pregnant, there is evidence that immunity from COVID-19 vaccination is passed on to the baby. #CommunityImmunityWV
How do the COVID-19 vaccines work? - Español
Las vacunas contra la COVID-19 permiten que el sistema inmunológico del cuerpo desarrolle anticuerpos para reconocer y luchar contra el virus. Las vacunas les enseñan a las células a reconocer a la proteína espícula del virus que ocasiona la COVID-19 y a activar la respuesta inmunológica para combatirla. Esto implica que las vacunas contra la COVID-19 no afectan o interactúan con su ADN de ninguna manera.
What to expect after getting a COVID-19 vaccine - Español
Lo que muchas personas presentan después de recibir la vacuna no son efectos secundarios, es el sistema inmunológico del cuerpo que responde ante la vacuna contra la COVID-19. Ambas vacunas contra la COVID-19 trabajan con su sistema inmunológico y lo preparan para luchar contra el virus en caso de exposición. Las respuestas más comunes del sistema inmunológico son dolor en el sitio de la inyección, inflamación o enrojecimiento, agotamiento, dolor de cabeza, dolor muscular, dolor de articulaciones, escalofríos, o fiebre.

Do Vaccines Prevent COVID-19 Variants?
When vaccination rates are low, coronavirus can easily spread and change into new strains (variants). When large portions of our communities get vaccinated against COVID-19, it helps create a firewall against the virus. The faster we get vaccinated, the faster we can build a community of immunity against the virus and its variants. #CommunityImmunityWV
What is a COVID-19 Variant?
Viruses constantly change, creating new strains (or variants) over time. These variants are slightly different from the past strains and can infect people who had COVID-19 before. Some variants cause more severe illness, especially among those who are younger. Vaccination is the safest way to protect yourself and our communities against the variants. #CommunityImmunityWV
What is the COVID-19 Delta Variant?
The Delta variant is a strain of the coronavirus that is circulating globally and is causing large waves of cases.
