THE DANGERS OF COVID-19 & THE NEED TO BE VACCINATED

On a global scale, COVID-19 has infected over 381 million people and has caused more than 5.6 million deaths since the beginning of the pandemic. As of 2 February 2022, Australia has seen 2,609,135 infections (297,157 of which are active cases) and 3,888 deaths so far. In NSW, there have been 1,098,290 infections (129,942 of which are active cases) and 1,449 deaths since January 2020.

Our elderly population, those with pre-existing comorbidities (such as hypertension, diabetes, or coronary heart disease), and our front-line healthcare workers are those most at risk of experiencing complications from the disease. Safe and effective vaccines are our biggest defence against this pandemic, which has had devastating medical, economic, and social ramifications.

Vaccines reduce the risk of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defences to build protection.
