Antibody tests may come up positive after vaccination but PCR tests will not be positive after vaccination. If you have a positive PCR after vaccination that should be treated as a true positive

It is recommended that people who have had Covid 19 get the vaccination since your body may react differently to the vaccine and provide you with more protection than the natural infection

As more vaccine supplies are available the CDC has released guidance on making vaccine available for greater portions of the general public - initially other front-line workers and then the general public. This will likely occur over the coming months

If you are to develop a severe allergic reaction at the time of vaccination, we are prepared to give you epinephrine and Benadryl if necessary
Guest

At this time nothing changes about the other COVID risk mitigation strategies. Everyone will need to continue to wear masks/PPE, social distance, and monitor for symptoms. Hopefully over the coming months as more of the population gets vaccinated and case counts decrease we will be able to relax some of these measures with guidance from CDC and public health

Does anything change about social distancing and wearing masks after we receive the vaccine?

We have received enough vaccine to vaccinate about half of the workforce and Einstein healthcare network. We should be able to order more vaccine in the coming weeks
Guest

Will everyone who signed up for the vaccine receive it?
Einstein Healthcare Network

We do not know yet if we will have both Pfizer and Moderna vaccine available to staff or whether or not there would be a choice in vaccine. Stay tuned
Mary McLaughlin

Do you anticipate that at some point we will have both the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccine available to staff, and if so will staff be able to choose one over the other?

You can't go to the link directly from home; you need to make sure you're using the remote-login to be on the Einstein system remotely first and then go to the link

Can the link, http://hr-info/covid19/ be accessible on non-Einstein computers? If so, I'm having trouble opening it on my computer at home and my cell phone. Anyone else having this issue?

We began vaccinating at EMC P yesterday. We will vaccinate at EMCM tomorrow and at EMCEP on Monday. There was a delay in shipment from the state to encumber the county

The overall side effect information for the Moderna vaccine appears to be fairly similar to the Pfizer vaccine

You either need to be in the hospital or use the Remote-Login to get into the hospital system if you're logging in from home.

Do you need to be in the hospital to sign-up or can I access the site from home computor?

No at this time the only factors in our prioritization were professional risk based on a staff member's job and their personal risk factors of age & comorbidities. Our goal is to get everyone who wants to be vaccinated, offered a vaccine as quickly and efficiently as possible. Including multiple risk factors will make that process more complicated and slow things down
Guest

Is there any consideration made for the health status of a employee family members for the employee to get the vaccine? For example if they have a young infant at home or they live with someone in a high-risk category.
Einstein Healthcare Network

We are currently not offering vaccine to the spouses of employees. We anticipate that the vaccine will be available to the general public early this spring

Is the vaccine gluten free?

The studies thus far have shown that the vaccine is effective for at least several months - that is how long the study participants have been followed thus far. Those study participants are continuing to be followed to gather additional information on how long immunity lasts and how/when boosters may be needed. This is very common for vaccine trials that additional information on duration of immunity and need for boosters comes out after the vaccine is used.

The vaccine is only indicated for administration in the deltoid muscle so perhaps you can have it in your left arm
Guest
12:39
If there is no data for how long the protection lasts with the vaccine then what is the point if one may be susceptible since they dont know when it will become ineffective?

I have tendinitis in my left deltoid/shoulder area & do not want an injection in my right arm.  Can I receive the vaccine in my thigh or other area?
Einstein Healthcare Network

People have serious allergic reactions to other substances may be at higher risk to have a serious reaction to the Pfizer vaccine. Be assured we are prepared to deal with these reactions but you should speak to your healthcare provider before coming to your appointment for the vaccine

If a person is allergic to shellfish, codeine and penicillin, is that person more prone to an allergic reaction with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine?

There is no data on vaccination with autoimmune diseases on Imuran. I suggest that you review this with your healthcare provider and make a shared decision on whether or not to take the vaccine
Guest

Hi!  Is the vaccine recommended for people with autoimmune disease and on Imuran?
