The Rotary Club of Antigua encourages persons to get vaccinated in efforts to protect themselves and those around them from the COVID-19 virus! Beginning today, we will feature Members of our Club who have been vaccinated in support of achieving herd immunity.
Why should I get vaccinated?
The vaccine reduces your risk of infection.
Once you receive your first shot, your body begins producing antibodies to the coronavirus. These antibodies help your body fight the virus in the event that you are exposed to the disease. (Source: Centre for Disease Control and Prevention).
There are strict protections in place to help ensure the safety of all COVID-19 vaccines.
Before receiving validation from WHO and national regulatory agencies, COVID-19 vaccines must undergo rigorous testing in clinical trials to prove that they meet internationally agreed benchmarks for safety and efficacy.
Unprecedented scientific collaborations have allowed COVID-19 vaccine research, development, and authorizations to be completed in record time – to meet the urgent need for these vaccines while maintaining high safety standards. (Source- World Health Organization (WHO).
