About Coronavirus
What Is The Coronavirus?
The coronavirus, officially designated as SARS-CoV-2, emerged as a new virus in late 2019 within Wuhan, Hubei province, China, and subsequently caused the illness known as COVID-19. It belongs to the larger family of coronaviruses, a group of viruses that have been responsible for various diseases in both humans and animals.
This specific variant, SARS-CoV-2, has since disseminated worldwide, resulting in a widespread pandemic. The primary mode of transmission is through respiratory droplets, and its symptoms can range from mild coughs and fevers to severe respiratory distress.
The global spread of COVID-19 has necessitated an unprecedented response from the medical and societal fronts, including the rapid development and distribution of vaccines.
What Vaccine Will I Get?
The United Kingdom administers a range of COVID-19 vaccines, all of which have undergone extensive assessments to ensure their safety, quality, and effectiveness.
While most individuals are eligible to receive any of the available vaccines, which offer protection against various strains of COVID-19, people are generally not able to choose their preferred vaccine.
Certain population segments, such as pregnant individuals, those under 18, those aged 75 and above, or, in rare cases, individuals who have experienced severe allergic reactions to a common vaccine, may have limited options or may be referred to specialized clinics for an alternative vaccine. It’s worth noting that children under the age of 12 receive a reduced vaccine dosage compared to older children and adults.
