With millions of doses now having been administered, COVID-19 vaccines have been proven to provide safe, effective protection against the disease, including variants of the virus.
- All of the COVID-19 vaccines reduce the risk of severe illness and limit disease transmission in the community.
- The more people in our community who are vaccinated, the better we can protect ourselves and one another.
- People who are not vaccinated, especially those of older age, are at higher risk for severe illness.
- Being vaccinated also means you can safely enjoy more activities and not be at risk of missing work or being asked to quarantine.
