GENESIS COVID-19 Community Vaccination Plan: April 14, 2021

It is everyone's turn now. Genesis is opening our vaccine clinic to both patients and non-patients residing in our region. Genesis is "in this together" to get our community vaccinated against COVID-19 and end the pandemic.

Genesis continues to encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated - to protect their own health and the health of those who they are in contact with. Right now Genesis is giving the Pfizer vaccination. When you get your first dose, we schedule your second dose appointment.

Is the vaccine safe?

The vaccines currently available have gone through a rigorous testing process and analysis that is used for every vaccine to be sure that each vaccine is effective and safe.

What does a COVID-19 Vaccine do?

The vaccine does not contain live or dead virus. It contains genetic material called mRNA. It is synthetic mRNA made in the laboratory. It contains instructions for a protein known as S protein.

This mRNA is enclosed in a lipid envelope in the vaccine. Once the vaccine is given, it is taken up by cells. Inside the cytoplasm, mRNA is released from its envelope. Then mRNA makes S protein. This S protein then incites immune response from body. The vaccine recipient makes antibody against this S protein which helps build immunity against COVID-19.
