Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Why should I get vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine?
Similar to the seasonal flu (influenza) vaccine, vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread and reduce the impact of infectious diseases.

The most frequent side effects are injection site pain, fatigue and headache. While testing the vaccination, some people reported feeling muscle pain, chills, joint pain and fever, however, it was mild or moderate and went away in few days.
3. Should people who have already tested positive for COVID-19 in the past get vaccinated?
Yes, those who have previously tested positive for COVID-19 should still be vaccinated. This is because re-infection with COVID-19 is possible.
