Importance of COVID-19 Vaccination
It’s important to remember that COVID-19 hasn’t disappeared. As COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, exposure to the virus has increased for everyone. Getting vaccinated is an essential precaution you can take to protect yourself and others.
How Effective is the COVID-19 Vaccine?
The COVID-19 virus can cause severe illness and, for some individuals, lead to long-term complications known as long COVID. Vaccination is the best protection we have against the virus.
COVID-19 vaccines help to:
- Reduce your risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19
- Reduce your risk of catching or spreading COVID-19
- Protect you against COVID-19 variants
Millions of doses have been administered in the UK, and the COVID-19 vaccines have a good safety record.
