Everything to know about the California Vaccine Program

 With COVID-19 on the rise in California, state officials take another major measure to slow the virus’s spread. Since today, there are new policies to implement. For example, they need to present their vaccination card as proof that they got vaccinated against Covid-19.

Getting the Covid-19 Vaccine

According to the state, most Californians will be vaccinated at community vaccination sites, doctor's offices, clinics, or pharmacies as additional COVID-19 vaccine doses become available. So If you’re in Sacramento, you can get your vaccination in any Sacramento community clinic. You can also refer to the abovementioned facilities.

Getting a vaccine can have many benefits not only for you but also for the people around you. So if you’re unsure about getting vaccinated, consider the following advantages that the vaccine may offer you and your family. 

The vaccine reduces your risk of infection.

When you get your first shot, your body starts making antibodies against the coronavirus. These antibodies aid your immune system in fighting the virus. It also lowers your risk of contracting the disease.

True, you'll still get infected after getting vaccinated, but due to something called herd immunity, your odds of getting infected are reduced even further. As a result, getting vaccinated lowers your risk of infection and helps safeguard the community by lowering the risk of virus transmission.

The vaccine can help your unborn baby or newborn.

According to a new study, pregnant women who take the COVID-19 vaccine develop antibodies to the virus. They’ll pass on to their unborn child through the placenta. Mothers' breast milk was also found to transfer antibodies to their newborns. This shows that those newborns have some immunity to the virus, which is particularly crucial given that early children are not eligible for the vaccine.

We were able to get rid of the mask thanks to the vaccination.

The vaccine is the last stage in our return to a normal existence. Follow the health protocol for Covid-19 to prevent the spread of the virus. The CDC(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) now advises anyone who hasn't been vaccinated to continue wearing a mask. If you've been vaccinated and prefer to wear a mask, that's entirely up to you.

You'll be able to reconnect with friends and family after receiving the vaccine.

You can visit other persons who have been vaccinated in person without wearing a mask. Also, once you've received the vaccine and waited the appropriate period for your body to build immunity.

Get your vaccine!
