Even if you’ve had a Covid vaccine before, it may be a good idea to get an updated vaccine to help protect yourself and your loved ones. Talk to your healthcare provider about what’s best for you.

Slide 6: You Have Options

When it comes to getting your Covid vaccine, there are different types of vaccines to choose from.

Slide 7: Protein-based vaccines — use a small piece of the virus to help your immune system recognize it — and fight it

mRNA vaccines — use lab-created mRNA to teach your cells how to make a protein like the one on the virus so it can recognize it — and fight it

Slide 8: Your Next Covid Vaccine Doesn’t Have to Be the Same Type As Your Last One

You can get an updated protein-based vaccine if you’ve previously received an mRNA vaccine.
