COVID-19 Vaccination
COVID-19 vaccination involves introducing a harmless piece or a weakened version of the virus (or its genetic material) into your body, prompting your immune system to recognize and fight the real virus if encountered later. This process helps your immune system develop protection (antibodies) without causing illness. Vaccines have been proven to reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. They are safe, thoroughly tested, and crucial for controlling the pandemic by preventing the spread of the virus within communities.
