A COVID-19 vaccination is a safe and essential way to protect yourself from getting sick with COVID-19. It helps your body produce antibodies that make you immune to the virus. Typically, the vaccination requires two doses, with the second shot administered 14-28 days after the first, depending on the brand. It takes about three weeks after the final shot to develop immunity.
At AED Urgent Care, we provide both virtual and in-person consultations with doctors and health professionals. Our facilities prioritize safety with socially-distanced and sanitized waiting areas. We offer various COVID-19 tests, including the antibody test and rapid swab test. Additionally, we provide at-home testing options for your convenience. Walk-in COVID-19 vaccinations are also available.
While a COVID-19 vaccination protects you from falling ill, it’s important to remember that you can still spread the virus. To prevent the spread, it’s crucial to follow these guidelines: wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer containing 60% alcohol, maintain a distance of two arm-lengths or 6 feet from individuals who don’t live with you, and consider getting a flu shot as well.
By adhering to these practices, we can collectively continue to stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep ourselves and our communities safe.

Typically, the COVID-19 vaccine consists of two doses, with the second dose administered 14 to 28 days after the initial one. It takes approximately three weeks after the final dose to develop immunity. Access to COVID-19 vaccination is subject to availability and regulations set by your state.
