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

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