As COVID-19 vaccine becomes available and more people are eligible, it might be a good idea to review the prevaccination checklist that is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
It is important to understand why these questions are relevant to the overall success of the COVID-19 vaccine.
