COVID-19 is a disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as the novel coronavirus (nCoV). The most common symptoms include cough, sore throat, or malaise. Other symptoms may include fever, aches and pains, nasal congestion, headache, conjunctivitis, diarrhea, loss of smell or taste, and discoloration of fingers and nails. In severe cases, shortness of breath and compromise of the breathing system or other body systems may occur.
How it works
COVID-19 vaccines work by stimulating your immune system to produce antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, providing protection against the disease. Different types of COVID-19 vaccines use various technologies, such as mRNA, viral vectors, and inactivated viruses, to achieve this immunity.
Importance
Vaccinating your child against COVID-19 is crucial because it can prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and long-term health complications. By ensuring your child is vaccinated, you are protecting them from COVID-19 and contributing to the overall health of the community.
Benefits
- Prevention of Severe Illness: COVID-19 vaccines can prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: Vaccination helps reduce the risk of complications, especially in high-risk individuals.
- Protection for High-Risk Groups: Older persons and those with underlying medical conditions are at higher risk of severe disease and benefit significantly from vaccination.
Risks
- Common Side Effects: These include pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, chills, fever, and nausea.
- Rare but Serious Side Effects: Allergic reactions are rare but possible. Some vaccines have been associated with rare side effects such as myocarditis or thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS).
