COVID-19 vaccines are rolling out, and some of you may already have received your first or even your second dose. But most Americans haven’t and may have questions about them.
Here we aim to give you answers.The vaccines are safe to take if you are living with HIV. People with HIV have been included in some clinical trials for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, the first two approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (a single-dose COVID vaccine from Johnson & Johnson was also recently approved). No specific data on HIV-positive people’s response to the vaccines has been released, but so far there is no evidence that they have a different reaction.
