Officials say if you have experienced any of those within three weeks of getting the shot, you should contact your doctor for guidance.

Dr. Anthony Fauci says you should not be concerned if it's been more than a month since you got the Johnson & Johnson shot. He says the time frame for side effect symptoms to appear is six to 13 days after getting vaccinated.
