Are Covid-19 vaccines effective?

Vaccination is a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases.
Vaccines reduce the risks of getting diseases by working with our body’s natural defenses to
build protection. When we get a vaccine, our immune system responds, it recognizes the
invading germ, such as the virus or bacteria, produces antibodies, proteins produced naturally by
the immune system to fight disease; remembers the disease and how to fight it. If you are
exposed to the germ in the future, your immune system can quickly destroy it before you become
unwell. Are Covid-19 vaccines effective?

Yes. All of the coronavirus vaccines approved or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) and recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) are very safe and also very good at preventing serious or fatal cases of COVID-19. The
risk of serious side effects associated with these vaccines is very small (Dr. Maragakis, Dr.
Kelen,2021). COVID 19-vaccines are effective and can reduce the risk of getting and spreading
the virus that causes COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccines also help children and adults from getting
seriously ill even if they do get COVID-19.

The COVID-19 vaccines were developed too fast to be safe. A lot of people didn't want to get
vaccinated because the vaccine was developed too fast to be safe. Many people had posted to
their social media claiming that the side effects were bad, claiming some people had died
because of it. A lot of people had questioned the effectiveness of the vaccine because of this.

Vaccinating not only protects yourself but also protects those in the community who are unable
to be vaccinated. Vaccines approved by competent national regulatory authorities are very safe.
As with all medicines, side effects can occur after getting a vaccine. However, these are usually
very minor and of short duration, such as a sore arm or a mild fever. More serious side effects
are possible, but extremely rare. A person is far more likely to be seriously harmed by disease
than by a vaccine.
