FAQs

1. It’s pointless to get the vaccine because I can still get COVID-19.
Yes, you can still get COVID-19. However, international studies as well as our local Sisonke Trial have found that the risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19 breakthrough cases (cases after vaccination) is very low.

2. I’ve already had COVID-19 so I don’t need to get vaccinated?
The World Health Organization advises that even if you have had COVID-19, you should get vaccinated.

This is because the protection that someone gains from having COVID-19 varies from person to person, as well as the fact that it is not yet known how long natural immunity lasts.

It’s important to note that you should wait a minimum of 30 days after you have recovered from COVID-19 to receive a vaccine.

3. Should you only get vaccinated if you have comorbidities?
Those with co-morbidities are more susceptible to severe COVID-19 infections and therefore are likely to benefit the most from the vaccines.

People with comorbidities have been included in many COVID-19 vaccine trials, which showed good protection from COVID-19 vaccines against severe disease.

4. Can the vaccine give me COVID-19?
It is very important to understand that the COVID-19 vaccine does not contain the live virus and it cannot cause you to fall ill with COVID-19.

The vaccine contains only a small part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the ‘spike protein gene’. This piece of the gene cannot replicate (grow) on its own, nor can it cause damage to the lungs that an infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes. It is biologically impossible for a vaccine to give a person COVID-19.

5. If I’ve had COVID-19, how long do I need to wait before I get vaccinated?
If you had a mild infection, you should wait 30 days after recovery (30 days after the 10 days isolation time). If you had a severe infection (requiring oxygen or hospitalization), you should wait 90 days after recovery to have a vaccine.

If you have been in contact with someone infected with COVID-19 and in quarantine, you should not go for a vaccine until quarantine is complete.

A negative test at this time could be a false negative and you could still be incubating the virus. This is dangerous both those at the vaccine site and potentially to the person having the vaccine.
