Additional Q&A

Below are responses to questions submitted through the Q&A that were not addressed in the recording. 

Question	Answer
Can the drug be given subq?	Not subQ — needs to be deeper, as with other vaccines
If a person has had strong immune responses to regular flu and other vaccines, do you recommend one vaccine over another for fewer side effects?	Nope. And just because have had a reaction to one type of vaccine does not mean you will have a strong reaction to a COVID vaccine.
Is the rationale behind the CDCs recommended window of not having to quarantine for 3 months post exposure for those vaccinated because of a lack of data or because the efficacy of the vaccine is only 3 months?	Just being cautious; not due to data the vaccine only works for 3 months. I expect this will change over time to a longer period since vaccination.

This webinar was co-hosted by independent school associations around the region.
