After Getting the Vaccine at Renown’s Drive Thru

After you receive the vaccine, our team will direct you to an observation area where you will wait for 15 minutes. Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and support volunteers patrol the area and may ask how you are feeling.

As with all vaccinations, there is potential for injection site reactions (redness, swelling and pain) as well as fever, fatigue, headache, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain and/or joint pain.

Allergies

The CDC has learned of reports that some people have experienced severe allergic reactions—also known as anaphylaxis—after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. As an example, an allergic reaction is considered severe when a person needs to be treated with epinephrine—or EpiPen©—or if they must go to the hospital.

Further allergic reaction information can be found on the CDC website.
