In tonight's #AskABC6, I couldn't answer every question we received on the air, so here are a few others...
Dr. Jospeh Gastaldo: "The vast majority of people will do fine with it. There may be a small amount of people who feel off kilter for 24-hours. They may have fatigue. They may have a headache. They may have muscle aches and pains. That’s your body‘s immune response."

Dr. Gastaldo also said this: "That’s your body‘s way of mounting a good antibody response, a good immune response, and it tells me you’re going to have a good degree of immunity from this virus.”
Another viewer asked if it's possible to get a COVID-19 infection from the vaccine.
Dr. Gastaldo's answer: "You cannot get COVID-19 from any vaccine that’s in phase 3 trials, currently happening in the United States.”

Q: Can COVID-19 can be prevented by the flu vaccine?
Dr. Gastaldo: "COVID-19 is caused by coronavirus. H1N1 is caused by a different virus, influenza. So we’ve never had a vaccine for a coronavirus. That’s why the H1N1 vaccine won’t have any effect on this novel coronavirus."

Lastly, I asked Dr. Gastaldo how confident he is in the vaccine.
Dr. Gastaldo: "As a person of science, when there is a vaccine that is FDA approved and CDC recommended, I feel quite confident in rolling my sleeve up and getting the vaccine when it’s available..."
