COVID-19 Vaccine

The COVID-19 vaccine helps protect against the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. It works by prompting the immune system to recognize and fight the virus without causing the disease. There are different types of vaccines, including mRNA vaccines, which deliver instructions to cells to produce a harmless piece of the virus, and viral vector vaccines, which use a harmless virus to deliver genetic material from the coronavirus. Vaccination reduces the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death. Widespread vaccination is crucial for achieving herd immunity and returning to normal life.
