Let’s Talk About The COVID-19 Vaccine…
"As a frontline health-worker, getting the COVID-19 vaccine will protect me from developing a severe form of the disease and protect people around me who are at increased risk of severe illness from the virus. I urge all those who are eligible, to get the vaccine." Jackson Mugambi, Safari Doctors Clinical Officer.
The COVID-19 vaccines produce protection against the disease, as a result of developing an immune response to the SARS-Cov-2 virus. Developing immunity through vaccination means there is a reduced risk of developing the illness and its consequences. This immunity helps you fight the virus if exposed. Getting vaccinated may also protect people around you, because if you are protected from getting infected and from disease, you are less likely to infect someone else. This is particularly important to protect people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19, such as healthcare providers, older or elderly adults, and people with other medical conditions.
