Right now, Covid-19 vaccines are rolled out at a high pace worldwide.

People at-risk groups and elderly people are being vaccinated every day across the UK and the world.

United kingdom’s government aim is to vaccinate 15 million people mainly vulnerable and at-risk group) by February which has not been met.

Our aim to answer some common questions about the COVID-19 vaccines.

What is the vaccine effect in ending the pandemic?

Licensed vaccines and appropriate administration are an important part of ending the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide.

By Vaccination, nations can stop the most vulnerable people from getting infected by the virus, which in return contributes to hospitalization reduction and death rate as we can see in March in the United Kingdom.

Although, vaccines are not a once for all solution for ending the pandemic. It will take time and effort throughout the nation’s plan to reduce the spread both domestically and internationally by keeping the social distancing measures, washing hands, and vaccinations with a more advanced scientific understanding of the vaccines and their current mutation.

Future treatments parrel to vaccinations are in progress which can definitely contribute towards a better recovery from the virus.

How does any vaccine work?

Current vaccines used in the UK either contain a weakened/dead version of the virus or it is a part of the virus that cannot harm the recipients (RNA).

With any type of vaccine, our body will produce antibodies (soldiers) specific to that disease. These antibodies will ensure that our body will be ready to fight the actual disease if we get exposed to the virus itself in the future.
