COVID-19 vaccines are a safe and effective way to protect yourself and others from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19 vaccines contain weakened or inactive parts of the virus that trigger an immune response in your body, but do not cause the disease. Different types of COVID-19 vaccines have been authorised or approved in various countries, and they all have been shown to reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalisation, and death from COVID-19. If you are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine, you can find information on how to register and make an appointment for vaccination on http://howardpharmacy.com.au/covid-19-vaccination-information/.
