Why it's important
The COVID-19 vaccine will help to protect you, your family, loved ones and the community. By receiving the COVID-19 vaccine we can together start to move past the pandemic to better health.
COVID-19 vaccines are safe
Millions of people in the United States and in Michigan have received COVID-19 vaccines, and these vaccines have undergone the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history.
In the past, it has taken many years to develop vaccines, but the COVID-19 vaccines were developed in record time. Safety measures were not dismissed through this process. Here's how they did it:
- Scientists used decades worth of existing research from similar coronaviruses
- Technological advances were leveraged, such as genomic sequencing
- Extensive collaboration to fast-track research and clinical trials
Frequently asked questions
Why should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Stopping a pandemic requires using all the tools available. Vaccines work with your immune system so your body will be ready to fight the virus if you are exposed. Together, COVID-19 vaccination and following the CDC’s recommendations to protect yourself and others will offer the best protection from COVID-19.
How do I know when clinics are being scheduled at my location or a location near me?
Team members should call 833.755.0696 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., and they will be scheduled for a clinic most convenient to them.
What do I do if I have not been contacted to be scheduled for my COVID-19 vaccine?
All team members who indicated their interest in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine should have been contacted to be scheduled. If you completed the survey indicating your interest and have not received a call, please call the Contact Center at 833.755.0696.
If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, should I still get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Yes. Currently, studies indicate that people who contract and recover from COVID-19 are naturally immune for at least 90 days, but we do not know how long natural immunity lasts.
If I have side effects from the vaccine, and I am not feeling well enough to work, will I receive an occurrence of absence if I call in?
Team members who have side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine that prevent them from working will not receive an occurrence of absence for any scheduled shifts within 72 hours of receiving the vaccine.
If I am pregnant, can I still get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Yes, if you are pregnant, you might choose to be vaccinated. Based on how COVID-19 vaccines work, experts think they are unlikely to pose a specific risk for people who are pregnant. However, you might want to have a conversation with your doctor to help you decide whether to get vaccinated.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides in-depth information on the COVID-19 vaccines.
Can a COVID-19 vaccine make me sick with COVID-19?
No. None of the authorized COVID-19 vaccines contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. This means that a COVID-19 vaccine cannot make you sick with COVID-19.
Will a COVID-19 vaccine alter my DNA?
No. COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way.

Is it safe for me to get a COVID-19 vaccine if I would like to have a baby one day?
Yes. If you are trying to become pregnant now or want to get pregnant in the future, you may receive a COVID-19 vaccine. There is currently no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination causes any problems with pregnancy, including the development of the placenta. In addition, there is no evidence that fertility problems are a side effect of any vaccine, including COVID-19 vaccines. Like all vaccines, scientists are studying COVID-19 vaccines carefully for side effects now and will continue to study them for many years.
