Esta semana estamos respondiendo a preguntas sobre lo que puede esperar mientras se prepara para recibir la vacuna contra el COVID-19. Asegúrese de volver la semana que viene para leer la quinta parte de nuestra serie de vacunas contra el COVID-19: Recibí la vacuna contra el COVID-19, ¿y ahora qué?


1. Pregunta: Escuché que hay dos vacunas, Pfizer y Moderna. ¿Cuáles son las diferencias?

‍

Respuesta: Tanto la vacuna Pfizer como la vacuna Moderna están aprobadas y funcionan de la misma manera. Ambas han demostrado ser muy seguras y funcionan muy bien: 94 a 95% de efectividad en la prevención del COVID-19. Cualquiera que tenga la opción de recibir una vacuna debe tomar la vacuna que esté disponible porque son seguras y eficaces.

‍

2. Pregunta: ¿Cómo obtengo la vacuna?

‍
Respuesta: La vacuna se administra en dos inyecciones. Deberá recibir cada inyección con un intervalo de algunas semanas. No estará completamente vacunado hasta que reciba ambas dosis (dos inyecciones). Si pierde la ventana de 21-28 días, NO necesita comenzar de nuevo.

‍

Para saber cuándo es elegible para recibir su vacuna, o inscribirse para su vacuna, visite el sitio web del departamento de salud pública de su estado. Asegúrese de consultar con frecuencia las actualizaciones. También puede hablar con su médico sobre cualquiera de estas preguntas.

‍

3. Pregunta: ¿Por qué necesito dos inyecciones?
‍

Respuesta: Para obtener el efecto completo de la vacuna, necesita ambas inyecciones. La primera inyección es una inyección de imprimación. Después de la primera inyección, obtendrá un nivel de inmunidad, pero no sabemos cuánto durará. La segunda inyección es una inyección de refuerzo. La efectividad de la vacuna del 94 al 95% ocurre después de recibir ambas inyecciones.

‍

Tanto la vacuna Pfizer como la Moderna requieren dos dosis:
Vacuna Pfizer: Recibe su segunda inyección tres semanas después de la primera.
Vacuna Moderna: Recibe su segunda inyección cuatro semanas después de la primera.
Asegúrese de que su segunda inyección sea la misma vacuna que la primera.

‍

4. Pregunta: ¿Tengo más probabilidades de contraer el COVID-19 después de mi primera inyección pero antes de mi segunda?
‍

Respuesta: ¡No! De hecho, lo que es realmente bueno es que se ha demostrado que la vacuna Pfizer tiene un 52% de eficacia con la primera dosis sola, ¡y dentro de los 10 días posteriores a la dosis!

‍

Aún así, no obtiene ese 90% de eficacia hasta que recibe la segunda dosis. Asegúrese de recibir su segunda dosis y recuerde asegurarse de que su segunda inyección sea la misma vacuna que la primera.


5. Pregunta: ¿Cuánto tiempo durarán las vacunas?

‍
Respuesta: Necesitaremos más investigación para saber cuánto tiempo será efectiva la vacuna. Los estudios de investigación han demostrado que la vacuna es eficaz durante al menos 120 días, pero estos estudios deben seguirse durante más tiempo antes de estar seguros.

‍

Es posible que descubramos que ciertas vacunas requieren una vacuna de refuerzo de la misma manera que lo hace una vacuna contra el tétanos, o pueden ser inyecciones anuales, como lo hacemos para la influenza.

‍‍

6. Pregunta: Recibí una vacuna contra la influenza este año, ¿habrá alguna interacción negativa entre la vacuna contra la influenza y la vacuna contra el COVID-19?

‍

Respuesta: No. Los ensayos clínicos de la vacuna contra el COVID-19 se realizaron durante la temporada de influenza y muchos participantes recibieron ambas vacunas. No pareció haber interacciones negativas entre las vacunas.

‍‍

Sabemos que contraer influenza y COVID-19 puede ser muy peligroso, por lo que recomendamos que obtengan AMBAS vacunas.

‍

Si tiene preguntas sobre cómo recibir la vacuna para su familia, consulte a su médico.

Hazel gets students the right support quickly
During the pandemic, a high school student was having a hard time coping. He was sad about COVID-19 impacting his senior year, and he was worried about the state of the world. The student was also struggling with some personal conflicts, and he felt he didn't have the right support at home.

After discussing his feelings, a Hazel doctor connected him with resources that he described as “life-changing.” He was very grateful and shared that he didn't know where to go for help before Hazel.
Hazel expands Health Services at school
A child came into the health center with a sprained wrist. The school nurse helped her ice the injury, but she was still in pain. A Hazel doctor helped the nurse put the student’s wrist in a splint and gave her over-the-counter medicine to help relieve the pain.

The school nurse expressed how grateful she was that Hazel could help her care for the child. She shared that before Hazel, she could not give medication to students, and the health office did not have splints available. She thanked Hazel for helping her do more for students in need of care.
Hazel is convenient and fast for families
A mother noticed her son was getting low on his asthma medication. She tried to schedule a visit with his doctor to refill his prescription, but all of the available appointments required her to take off from work, and her son would need to miss school. She needed to get her son to the doctor so he wouldn't run out of medicine, so she reached out to Hazel.

Hazel was able to see her son and send the refill to a local pharmacy within one day. The mother was happy that there was no need to interrupt school or work to get her son to a doctor for his medicine. She was also amazed at how easy and fast the entire process was.


Student Story
A student was coughing and sneezing a lot, but her family wasn’t sure if she was sick or had allergies. Thankfully, her school used Hazel, and they could get an answer.
‍
After talking with the school nurse and the Hazel provider about her symptoms and medical history, the student was happy to find out it was likely allergies. She got some medicine and returned to class feeling better.

Parent Story
Shortly after COVID-19 began, a student began to develop tics. Her parents took her to a neurologist, but they wanted to get her into counseling as well. The student’s mother was having a hard time finding answers to her questions and didn’t know where to start the process, so she turned to Hazel.

The Hazel doctor listened as the mother shared her concerns and frustrations. Hazel reassured her that they would find the right services for her child. After the initial visit, the Hazel doctor partnered with the school counselor and the student’s mother to identify resources and counseling services that are a good fit.
A physical health visit leads to an important discovery
A student came into the nurse’s office because his vision went blurry. The Hazel doctor looked at his eyes, but he did not see any injury. As he asked him questions about his symptoms, he started to sense that he was down about something. After a few minutes, the student shared that he was really sad because his mom was recently diagnosed with cancer. He explained that he feels worried, and it’s hard for him to focus.

Hazel called home, and the student’s mother confirmed her diagnosis. They discussed how to help manage the child’s stress, and Hazel offered to connect the child with counseling resources through the school. The mother was very grateful for the guidance and was eager to get her child help during a stressful time.
