• One dose of COVID vaccine can reduce secondary outcomes of severe disease and hospitalisations by about 60%
• Vaccinated individuals can still become infected and transmit the virus and may cause severe disease in those whom they have spread it to
• Novavax may become the preferred vaccine for boosters, which may be required in 12 months
• Even after full vaccination, personal safety with masks, hand washing, social distancing and avoiding mass gatherings remain the cornerstone of prevention of COVID
