Do I need to get vaccinated if I ve already recovered from COVID-19?
Travis County health officials say, yes. Immunity from the COVID-19 vaccine may last longer than the natural immunity you get if you ve already had COVID-19.
People who currently have COVID-19 should not be vaccinated until they have completed their 10 day isolation after testing positive for COVID-19. Once you have recovered from COVID-19, and are eligible, you should get vaccinated.
How effective will the vaccine be against COVID-19?
Different vaccines are proving to have different efficacy rates, Travis County health officials said. All currently authorized vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe disease and death if you do contract the disease, and range from 70-95% effective at preventing disease altogether.

As the pace of vaccinations continues to slow across the country, more than 20 states are not ordering all the available COVID-19 vaccine doses allocated to them by the federal government, according to a CBS News tally.
The figure is the latest sign of lessening demand for vaccinations around the country, as health officials shift from triaging a flood of people clamoring for the shots to targeting harder-to-reach communities.
CBS News reached out to health departments in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, and among the 38 states that responded, 22 said they weren t ordering all the doses available to them for the week of May 3.
