COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). It can spread easily through close contact with infected individuals, particularly via coughs, sneezes and respiratory droplets.
While many people experience mild symptoms, COVID-19 can still cause more serious illness in vulnerable individuals, particularly older adults and those with underlying health conditions.
Symptoms can include fever, cough, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, sore throat and shortness of breath.
COVID-19 continues to circulate in the community and can still cause significant illness in some people.
Vaccination helps support your immune system’s ability to respond to the virus and may reduce the severity and duration of symptoms if you do become infected.
It may be particularly useful for those travelling, working in high-contact environments, or wishing to maintain additional protection.
Your appointment includes a brief consultation to confirm suitability for the vaccine.
The vaccine is given as a quick injection in the upper arm and takes only a few minutes to complete.
You will be able to return to normal activities shortly after your appointment.
