Is it a HIPAA violation for someone to ask me if I got the Covid-19 vaccine?
Vaccines
Sarah Whitley Coles, MD
A: No. Businesses, employers, family, or friends can ask about someone’s vaccine status without violating HIPAA. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a US federal law that created national standards to protect patient health information from being disclosed without that person’s consent. This law only applies to certain organizations and businesses, called Read more…
What is gene therapy? How is it different from vaccines?
Biology/Immunity Uncertainty and Misinformation Vaccines
A: Gene therapies treat diseases using genetic tools. They usually work by making lasting changes to your DNA — the genetic “cookbook” that provides instructions to make you. Vaccines, by contrast, deliver a short-lived signal (e.g. a burst of protein), then disappear. Vaccines and gene therapies both use customized genetic tools to achieve their goals. Read more…
Why should we vaccinate our kids against COVID-19?
Families/Kids Vaccines Videos
Why should we vaccinate our kids against COVID-19? Dr. Chana Davis, PhD from Fueled by Science explains as a scientist and a mom. It’s not just about helping us get to herd immunity, it’s about minimizing the risk to your child: “If you don’t vaccinate your kid ever…they will eventually get it.” ICYMI, watch Dr. Read more…
What happened with that Yankees COVID-19 outbreak? What does it mean for vaccine effectiveness?
Testing and Contact Tracing Vaccines
Rachael Piltch-Loeb, PhD MSPH
A: While several vaccinated players tested positive, they were almost all asymptomatic. TL; DR- Nine members of the New York Yankees tested positive for COVID-19 after receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Among those who tested positive only one reported mild symptoms. These cases were discovered because the Yankees test regularly, unlike most other vaccinated Read more…
Can people with severe allergic reactions get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine?
Vaccines
Amanda Simanek, PhD MPH
A: If you have had an allergic reaction to any ingredient included in the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, then you should not get this type of COVID-19 vaccine. If you have an allergic reaction to the first dose of these vaccines, you should not get the second dose. If you have a history of severe Read more…
Is it true that new research shows that COVID-19 vaccine spike protein could cause cardiovascular damage just as the COVID -19 virus spike does?
Vaccines
Vijaya Knight, MD PhD (D)ABMLI
A: No. The spike protein delivered by the COVID-19 vaccines does not cause cardiovascular damage. 🤔 Let’s start by taking a look at the role of the spike protein in SARS-CoV-2 infection. The virus can enter our bodies when we breathe in droplets breathed out by an infected person. The virus then gets into lung Read more…

Is there any information on the immune response to COVID-19 vaccines in people on Remicade?
Vaccines
Vijaya Knight, MD PhD (D)ABMLI
Q: My daughter has Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and is on Remicade. Is there any information on the immune response to COVID-19 vaccines in people on Remicade? A: People on some immunosuppressive medicines are showing weaker responses to COVID-19 vaccines. Remicade is one of many immunosuppressive medicines. People who are on immunosuppressive treatment may have Read more…
Do COVID-19 vaccinations work to prevent infections in nursing homes?
Vaccines
Ashley Ritter, APRN, PhD
A: YES! The mRNA vaccines REALLY work, even in this high risk population. A new study shows real-world success of mRNA vaccines in reducing infection among nursing home residents. People with multiple chronic illnesses and older people are often not included in clinical trials. It can be difficult to understand how medical treatments tested in Read more…

Can I get the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as another vaccine?
Vaccines
Sarah Whitley Coles, MD
A: Sure can! The COVID-19 vaccine can now be given with other vaccines. This is a change from the old recommendation that said to wait 2 weeks between the COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines. Don’t delay and catch up on those vaccines! Initially, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that the Read more…
