Based on current research and outcomes, the 3 current vaccines manufactured by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are all equally effective. No one vaccine shows signs of being better than the others. You will receive the same results regardless of which vaccine you receive.

All of the COVID-19 vaccines currently used in the United States DO NOT CONTAIN any live viruses or deactivated Coronavirus cells. While there are several different vaccines under development, each of them is created to teach your immune system how to recognize and build defenses against the COVID-19 virus. After receiving the vaccine, many people may show some short-term symptoms such as a fever or fatigue. These are signs that the vaccine is triggering an immune response as it learns to detect and fight the Coronavirus. These typically last only a day or two.

COVID vaccines DO NOT CONTAIN any microchips and will not place any electronic or trackable components into your body.

The current COVID vaccines in use will not cause you to test positive on a viral test that checks for a current infection. If your body develops the possible and expected immune response, the intended goal of vaccination, you may possibly show up as positive on some antibody tests. Positive antibody tests could indicate that you had a previous infection and that you may have some protection against the Coronavirus. Scientists and experts are currently looking into how COVID-19 vaccinations affect antibody-test results.

At this time, it is unknown how long people remain protected from again becoming getting sick after recovering from COVID-19. The natural immunity someone gains from having an infection will vary from person to person. Some of the early evidence shows natural immunity may not last very long. Since the vaccines are still so new, we will not know how long immunity created by vaccination lasts until we more data on how well it works.
