The benefits of COVID-19 vaccination

Getting vaccinated gives you the best protection against COVID-19.

The vaccines help:

• reduce your risk of getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19. Some people are known to be more at risk of severe illness from COVID-19 and it can make some otherwise healthy people very ill, too.
• reduce your risk of catching COVID-19, and therefore reduce your risk of needing time off work due to COVID-19-related illness.
• reduce your risk of spreading COVID-19 to others, helping you to look after your family, friends, colleagues and community.
• protect against COVID-19 variants. The virus that causes COVID-19 changes over time; having all vaccine doses you are eligible for provides the best protection against future variants.
