Which mask should I wear? Which masks are better?
The most effective masks are: N95 or KN95 (KF94 masks are also very effective). After those, it is very effective to double mask (cloth mask over a medical/surgical mask). A medical or surgical mask is effective, but not the most effective. Cloth masks with 3 or more layers are generally the least effective. For more information, click on these links:
I have a medical condition, can I get the COVID vaccine and the booster?
It depends on the medical condition. Very few, if any, medical conditions would exclude someone from receiving the vaccine and the booster. The CDC keeps up-to-date interim clinical considerations: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/covid-19-vaccines-us.html
You should consult with your primary care provider if you have any concerns.
How long after I have COVID-19, can I receive the vaccine or the booster?
COVID-19 vaccines can be given safely to people with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. Defer vaccination until person has recovered from the acute illness and criteria have been met for them to discontinue isolation (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/disposition-in-home-patients.html).
