Not necessarily. Whether to use a comma at all is a matter of style, not grammar. Some style guides suggest using a comma before and only if three or more items are listed (sugar, spice, and everything nice). Other style guides don't recommend using the comma (sugar, spice and everything nice). Commas are rarely used in a list of just two items (dogs and cats).
A comma after the word and is rare, but may occasionally occur if there is some phrase after and that needs to be set off: And, I say to you, go forth and conquer! And, Joey, you go with Martha.

∙ 14y agoYes, you can use a comma after the word and. Modern writing, for the most part has discontinued the use of relative clauses after a conjunction. So it is generally not used. Modern writing teachers don't like it, and, while it can be used, claim readers find it confusing.

∙ 11y agoNot generally. It depends on the role of the word in the sentence. Commas are a feature of sentence structure, not of words. There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma. For example:
Also running was another candidate.
I was amused, but also irritated.
