COVID-19 Vaccines

Vaccines are a critical new tool in the battle against COVID-19 and it is extremely encouraging to see so many vaccines proving successful and going into development. Working as quickly as they can, scientists from across the Globe are cooperating and innovating to bring us treatments and vaccines that will collectively save lives and finish this pandemic. Safe and effective vaccines will be a game changer but for the predictable future we must continue wearing masks and follow physical distancing. Being vaccinated does not mean that we can throw caution to the wind and put ourselves and others at risk, mainly because it is still not clear the degree to which the vaccines can protect against disease, infection and transmission.
