Savannah Guthrie, Dylan Dreyer, Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones and Jenna Bush Hager received their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine live on TODAY Wednesday.

"Everyone is different, and everyone will experience the shot a little bit differently," Chokshi said."If you are having side effects, that means that your immune system is revving up, it's doing what it is supposed to do.

"But if as in case, you don't have side effects, you shouldn't worry, your body is still doing what it needs to do to build up protection from the vaccine."Getting one shot does not mean the TODAY team is fully protected against COVID-19 yet. It takes 14 days after the first shot to get partial protection, and they won't be fully protected until 14 days after their second shot, according to Chokshi.

"That's why it's important for us to continue following the precautions that we've advised, particularly wearing the mask and keeping your distance," he said.The group of five will now be scheduled to get their second Pfizer shot in 21 days. For those getting the Moderna shot, the second dose is scheduled 28 days after the initial shot.
