What to know about the new COVID vaccine

I tested positive for COVID this week for the second time in 2 years.

It started on Monday with an excruciating headache. Then, I got a fever that night and now am struggling with muscle aches and a runny nose. At first, I thought it was the flu until I took an at-home COVID test on Tuesday night.

No matter how careful you think you're being, you never know if you're going to test positive.

Houston Chronicle reporter Julian Gill provides information on the new COVID vaccine and if insurance will cover it.
