COVID-19 Vaccine Facts for People with Developmental Disabilities

The Boggs Center on Developmental Disabilities at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School created a COVID-19 vaccine fact sheet for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The fact sheet helps to explain: 

• What is a COVID-19 vaccine? 
• How do I know the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective? 
• When will I be able to get the vaccine? 
• Where and how can I get the vaccine? 
• What should I know to prepare for my vaccination appointment? 
• What should I expect when I get the vaccine? 
• What should I expect after I get the vaccine? 
• How do I continue to stay safe before and after I get vaccine? 

Some of the resources mentioned in this fact sheet are specific to New Jersey.
