COVID19 AND VACCINATIONS

Introduction to COVID-19 and Its Vaccinations
COVID-19, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and quickly spread globally, leading to a pandemic declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. This virus primarily spreads through respiratory droplets, causing a range of symptoms from mild respiratory issues to severe pneumonia and, in some cases, death. The pandemic has had profound health, economic, and social impacts worldwide.
Vaccinations Against COVID-19
In response to the urgent need for protection against COVID-19, several vaccines were developed and authorized for emergency use at an unprecedented speed.
Vaccination efforts have been critical in reducing the spread of COVID-19, preventing severe illness, and mitigating the burden on healthcare systems. Despite challenges such as vaccine distribution, hesitancy, and the emergence of variants, vaccination remains a key tool in controlling the pandemic and moving towards normalcy.
