Protection
Stay protected with the latest COVID-19 vaccines and boosters based on current health guidance.
COVID-19 is a viral respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It spreads easily between people and can range from mild illness to more severe complications, particularly in vulnerable individuals.
The virus spreads mainly through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or breathes closely with others. It is more likely to spread in crowded, enclosed, or poorly ventilated spaces.
Symptoms can vary but commonly include fever, persistent cough, fatigue, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, and shortness of breath. Severity can differ widely depending on age and health status.
Higher risk includes older adults, people with underlying medical conditions, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems, as they may experience more severe outcomes.
Vaccination remains the most effective protection against severe illness. Maintaining good hygiene, staying up to date with boosters, and reducing exposure in high-risk settings also helps lower infection risk.
Initial COVID-19 vaccination to build core protection against infection and severe illness.
Follow-up vaccination to maintain and strengthen immunity as protection reduces over time.
