Vaccination against coronavirus

From November 6th to November 30th, 2023, individuals with underlying health conditions can receive a new COVID-19 vaccination. The new COVID-19 vaccine is necessary because previous vaccines do not offer sufficient protection against new strains of the coronavirus.

Older individuals are at higher risk. The effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine tends to decline more rapidly in their case than in younger ones. When older individuals become infected, they are more likely to develop severe illness and require hospitalization. The Department of Public Health recommends that friends and family of older individuals get the new COVID-19 vaccine to protect the elderly individuals in their communities.

The new vaccine safeguards individuals with vulnerable health from hospitalization due to infection with new variants of the coronavirus. This reduces the likelihood of these individuals dying from COVID-19. The coronavirus is still dangerous and keeps coming back.
