5. What happens if I am in quarantine on the day of my vaccination appointment?
You should not take the vaccine while you have active Covid illness or you are in quarantine. You should take the vaccine after 4 weeks from your first positive covid test or from when you felt the initial symptoms.

Please call 145 to guide you accordingly. If you are in quarantine, but not COVID-19 positive, you can get vaccinated after your quarintine period is over. Please call 145 to guide you accordingly.

6. Is the vaccine safe?
The vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective through clinical trials carried out among tens of thousands of people. The vaccines have also passed the rigorous approval process of the European Medicines Authority (EMA) and the World Health Organisation.

Data collected indicate that side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines are similar to licenced vaccines used for other diseases.

Individuals who receive the vaccine may experience some level of discomfort in the form of chills, fever, injection site reaction (redness, pain, swelling), fatigue, nausea, headache, muscle pain, joint pain or aches. Less common side effects include enlarged lymph nodes, feeling unwell, pain in limb, insomnia and injection site itching.

To date, common side effects were reported to last for a day or two and resolve on their own.

7. I have already tested positive for COVID-19. Do I still need the vaccine?
Yes. The immunity gained from a natural infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may not be strong enough to achieve long-term immunity. In fact, there have been cases of people who have been infected more than once.

This is why we are also giving the vaccine to people who have already been infected in the past. One must wait for 4 weeks following a positive Covid test before getting vaccinated.
