Original Note:
Just like a flu vaccine, the COVID-19 vaccine doesn't stop you from getting COVID-19, but it helps your body fight off the virus and reduces the chances of you getting sick. This means you're less likely to experience severe illness or need to go to the hospital. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/about-vaccines/index.html https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/why-vaccination-is-important-and-the-safest-way-to-protect-yourself/ https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-vaccine/art-20484859 https://www.who.int/podcasts/episode/science-in-5/episode--53---covid-19--booster-shots https://unfoundation.org/blog/post/qa-with-dr-peter-hotez-behind-the-scenes-of-covid-19-vaccine-research/
