Few Facts:
1. You can't get COVID-19 from any of the vaccines. None of the vaccines available to the public contain the live virus that causes COVID-19. They may cause minor side effects such as a sore arm or mild fever. This is a sign that the vaccine is working.
2. There is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 can spread through mosquito bites. COVID-19 spreads mainly through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. It can also spread if you touch an infected surface and then touch your eyes, nose or mouth. To protect yourself, clean your hands often and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home.
3. There is no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 can spread through houseflies. COVID-19 spreads mainly through droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. It can also spread if you touch an infected surface and then touch your eyes, nose or mouth. To protect yourself, clean your hands often and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home.
4. People of all ages can be infected by the COVID-19 virus. People who are 60 or over and those with conditions like asthma, diabetes and heart disease are at higher risk of becoming severely ill. Everyone should practice prevention measures like cleaning your hands regularly and keeping a safe distance from others.
The need for a COVID-19 vaccine was urgent, so governments and companies spent much more money to develop it. Research and development took place at the same time around the world while still following strict safety and clinical standards. This allowed for faster vaccine development, but doesn't make the studies any less rigorous or the vaccine any less safe.
