COVID-19 Vaccine Facts
(Source: CDC)
- The vaccine will help keep you from getting COVID-19.
- All vaccines available in the U.S. have been shown to be highly effective at preventing COVID-19.
- The vaccine does not make you sick. Some people have had a sore arm (where the shot was given), as well as tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever and nausea; particularly after the second shot.
- Even if you’ve had COVID-19, you should still get the vaccine. If you are currently ill with COVID-19, you should wait until you are well before getting the vaccine.
- The vaccine is free to everyone in the United States.
- A recent check of vaccinefinder.org lists 50 places within 50 miles of Oshkosh where vaccines are available.
If you have received at least the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination, please fill out this Vaccination Report Form.

FAQs: Eligibility, Allergies, Other Vaccinations
Can I get a flu shot, shingles or other vaccine during my COVID-19 vaccination series? If you are scheduling another vaccine that is not part of the COVID-19 vaccination series (i.e. shingles, flu or another vaccine), the CDC and Advocate Aurora recommend those vaccines be administered with a minimum interval of 14 days before or after the COVID-19 vaccine. This recommendation is based on the lack of data on the safety and efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered simultaneously with other vaccines.
To schedule a vaccination appointment
If you wish, you may schedule an appointment instead of utilizing the walk-up vaccination hours.
On the Aurora website, we recommend using the “Schedule Online” option to schedule an appointment.
The Culver Center location is listed as “Advocate Aurora Health COVID-19 Vaccine Center UW-Oshkosh” but you may choose to receive your vaccine wherever you are able to make an appointment. Click “Book an appointment” to check availability at a vaccine location.
After you choose a location, scroll down to the “Schedule an appointment ” section to check for available appointments at that location.
Get your vaccine
After you receive your shot you will be required to stay at the center for a minimum of 15 minutes of observation.
If you have received at least the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccination, please fill out this Vaccination Report Form.
It is still possible for you to contract COVID-19 after receiving a vaccination. To ensure the safety of yourself and others, please continue to follow all recommended safety practices such as wearing a mask and maintaining physical distancing.
