COVID-19 vaccine
COVID-19 vaccination is safe and effective. If you are at increased risk from severe COVID-19, getting a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and others. Seasonal vaccines are offered because protection fades over time. Research has shown the vaccine helps:
- reduce your risk of getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19
- reduce your risk of catching and spreading COVID-19
- protect against different strains (variants) of COVID-19
