@FLBlue My reason: family health and safety! #flbluechat #thisismyshot

[Kelli Tice, MD @kelli_doctor]

Vaccination meant I could visit my parents!!! #thisismyshot #flbluechat

[Florida Blue @FLBlue]

Q8: Once I have gotten the vaccine, what can I do? #FLBlueChat #ThisIsMyShot

[Kelli Tice, MD @kelli_doctor]

A7. The CDC recommends that you get vaccinated after your symptoms resolve and your isolation is over. Wait 90 days if you received antibody treatment for COVID. #thisismyshot #flbluechat

[Kelli Tice, MD @kelli_doctor]

@editormarilyn @FLBlue Thanks @editormarilyn ❤️. We are all doing our part! #thisismyshot #flbluechat

A6: Vaccines are developed under strict guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are thoroughly reviewed for safety and effectiveness before they receive emergency use authorization (EUA) from the FDA. #FlBlueChat #ThisIsMyShot

[Florida Blue @FLBlue]

A5: We don’t know how long protection lasts for those who are vaccinated. What we do know is that COVID-19 has caused very serious illness and death for many people. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safer choice. https://t.co/uXGO7glUG4 #ThisIsMyShot #FLBlueChat #ThisIsMyShot

[Kelli Tice, MD @kelli_doctor]

@FLBlue Immunity from the vaccine is known to be longer than 'natural' immunity from COVID-19 illness which is about 90 days #flbluechat

A4: what @kelli_doctor says here! 👇🏾👇🏾 #flbluechat

[Florida Blue @FLBlue]

A4. You can’t get COVID-19 from the vaccines. It’s impossible. But you may feel some side effects for a day or two. @kelli_doctor explains some of the symptoms you may experience and other facts vs myths. #FLBlueChat #ThisIsMyShot https://t.co/rWT8VUGNYx

[Kelli Tice, MD @kelli_doctor]

A4. No. It is impossible to get COVID from the vaccine.

[Marilyn Young @editormarilyn]

I got mine at @Publix pharmacy. It was so simple. When I got there, I filled out paperwork, then got my shot within 5 minutes. They asked me to wait for 20 minutes to make sure I had no side effects. Then I shopped for a sweet treat for me to reward myself. #FLBlueChat

[Kelli Tice, MD @kelli_doctor]

A3 COVID Vaccines are available at most pharmacies now. Most don't require appointments anymore! Check with the pharmacy closest to you. You can also check the Dept. of Health website https://t.co/fyeJjvkZfh

A1: The vaccine is critical in helping us fight COVID-19. It’s equally as critical for our safe return to normal activities with family, friends and coworkers. #FLBlueChat #ThisIsMyShot.

[Kelli Tice, MD @kelli_doctor]

A2: Dedicated funding and teams of expert researchers allowed for rapid development of vaccines that met safety standards #FLBlueChat #igotmyshot#thisismyshot
