ALERT: Health experts continue to study the effects of COVID-19 vaccinations, including their impact on infection, immunity, and health outcomes.
Current research shows that:
-
COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at reducing severe illness, hospitalization, and death caused by the virus.
-
Breakthrough infections can occur in vaccinated individuals, but they are generally milder and less likely to result in serious complications.
-
Immunity may wane over time, which is why health authorities recommend booster doses to maintain strong protection.
Officials stress that vaccines remain a key tool in controlling the pandemic, alongside public health measures such as mask-wearing, ventilation, and hygiene practices.
It is important for everyone to rely on verified medical information from trusted sources like the CDC, WHO, and local health authorities rather than rumors or unverified reports.
Further studies are ongoing to monitor long-term effects and ensure vaccine safety and effectiveness.
