to

the

Covid-19 vaccine clinic in Pearl City.  You may have to answer a survey ensuring that you are in the right group.  Once registered and with an appointment, you are all done with the first step!  If you do not have access to the internet or do not feel comfortable registering online, call the Hawaii District Health Office at (808) 300-1120.  Be sure to ask, “where can I find a Covid-19 vaccine center near me?.”


Step 2: First Dose  Next, go to the Covid-19 vaccine center on the day and time of your appointment.  The appointment makes sure that there are enough vaccines in stock.  They also check your identification to ensure no “line-cutting”.  Remember to wear a mask and remain socially distant before and after your vaccination.  Once you have arrived and it is your turn, ensure that the health care worker administering the vaccine is wearing personal protective equipment.


 They should be the only person getting close enough to you to give you the shot.  After injection, they may ask you to stay for 15-30 minutes for observation.  This observation is a precaution and DOES NOT mean that you are in any danger.  After that, all that is left is making the appointment for the final vaccination.  You can choose to receive the second dose at the same Covid-19 clinic in Pearl City if you so desire.


Step 3: Second Dose  Approximately 21 days after the first dose of the vaccine, it is time for your appointment for the last one.  This period between doses may vary depending on which vaccine you get.  It is recommended that you receive the same type of vaccine as the first dose, Moderna or Pfizer.  The process is much the same as the first time.  You may need to stay longer for observation.  Some people may have slightly stronger reactions with the second dose.  Although the side effects may be more intense, they should not last longer than 1-2 days.  After that, your vaccination is complete! Congratulations! Please remember to continue following CDC guidelines of mask-wearing and social distancing.
