What you need to know about COVID-19 vaccines

https://www.unicef.org/eca/stories/what-you-need-know-about-covid-19-vaccines-0

Vaccines save millions of lives each year and a COVID-19 vaccine could save yours. The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, providing strong protection against serious illness and death. WHO reports that unvaccinated people have at least 10 times higher risk of death from COVID-19 than someone who has been vaccinated. There is also evidence that being vaccinated can help prevent you from spreading the virus, so it protects people around you. It is important to be vaccinated as soon as it’s your turn, even if you already had COVID-19. Vaccines offer more reliable protection than natural immunity. Getting vaccinated is a safer way for you to develop immunity from COVID-19 than getting infected. The COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective, but no vaccine provides 100 per cent protection. Some people will still get ill from COVID-19 after vaccination or pass the virus onto someone else. Therefore, it is important to continue practicing safety precautions to protect yourself and others, including avoiding crowded spaces, physical distancing, hand washing and wearing a mask.

What we know about the Omicron variant

https://www.unicef.org/eca/stories/what-we-know-about-omicron-variant

WHO reports that early evidence suggests that previous infection could offer less protection against Omicron in comparison to other variants of concern, such as Delta. Information is still limited though and we will share updates as it becomes available. You should get vaccinated even if you’ve previously had COVID-19. While people who recover from COVID-19 may develop some natural immunity to the virus, we do not yet know how long it lasts or how well you are protected. Vaccines offer more reliable protection.

Anatolii Nesterenko is just 52, but lives in a nursing home. Anatolii did not hesitate to get vaccinated. He believes it is a responsibility. “I do not want this infection to continue to poison everybody’s life,” he says. Anatolii’s neighbour, 47-year-old Bohdan Volynchuk, also uses a wheelchair after suffering a stroke in 2018. He dreams of learning how to walk again and knows the vaccine will protect him. “For this, I have to be vaccinated, among other things,” he says. “Lockdown has been very restrictive.
