About Vaccines and its benefits

According to the Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the use of any covid-19 vaccine brand will help a person prevent the spread and contracting of the viral disease.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reiterated that COVID-19 vaccines are proven to be safe, effective, and life-saving. Like all vaccines, they do not fully protect everyone who is vaccinated, and we do not yet know how well they can prevent people from transmitting the virus to others. So as well as getting vaccinated, we must also continue with other measures to fight the pandemic.
