Vaccines, Variants and Boosters

  • 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

  • Even after full vaccination, personal safety with masks, hand washing, social distancing and avoiding mass gatherings remain the cornerstone of prevention of COVID
