MedArrive does not procure vaccines directly. Our partners are working with local and state governments to procure vaccines so the type of vaccine could vary depending on what region you live in.

It is recommended that you maintain mask-wearing and safe social distancing, even after receiving the vaccine. Follow the CDC’s guidelines here.

If you are receiving the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, you will see protection against the virus 2 weeks after your second shot.
Is the vaccine considered safe?
