FAQs

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, a novel coronavirus first identified in late 2019. It ranges in severity from mild symptoms to severe respiratory failure and death, particularly in older adults and people with underlying health conditions. The disease primarily affects the lungs, but it can also impact other organs and systems, including the heart, kidneys, and brain. COVID-19 has caused a global pandemic, leading to significant disruptions in public health and daily life. While most people recover fully, some experience long COVID, a prolonged set of symptoms that can persist for weeks or months after the initial infection.

COVID-19 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets and aerosols released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or breathes. It can also spread by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the face, though this is less common. The virus is most contagious in the days around symptom onset, including before symptoms appear. Prevention strategies include vaccination, wearing masks in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces, frequent handwashing, maintaining physical distance, and staying home when unwell. Improving indoor ventilation and using air filtration also help reduce airborne transmission.



Opting for a private COVID vaccination offers several benefits that can contribute to safeguarding individual health and well-being.

Firstly, private vaccinations often provide expedited access to vaccines, mitigating long waiting times and ensuring timely protection against the virus. Additionally, the flexibility afforded by private vaccination services allows individuals to schedule appointments at their convenience, accommodating busy schedules and personal preferences.

Furthermore, private vaccinations offer peace of mind, as individuals can choose from a variety of vaccine options and receive personalized care from healthcare professionals.

By opting for a private vaccination, individuals not only prioritize their own health but also alleviate pressure on public healthcare systems, thereby contributing to a more efficient distribution of vaccines.

Overall, private COVID vaccinations offer a proactive and efficient means of protecting oneself against the virus while supporting community health efforts.

COVID-19 vaccines, including mRNA vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna) and viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson), provide strong protection against severe illness and death. Initial immunity begins to build within a few weeks of the first dose and strengthens after the second dose. However, protection wanes over time, especially against mild infection, prompting the need for booster doses. Boosters are recommended 6 to 12 months after the primary series, depending on age, health status, and circulating variants. Updated boosters (bivalent or variant-specific) offer better protection against current strains. Ongoing research continues to inform the optimal timing of future boosters.

Many countries require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for entry, visa applications, or exemption from quarantine or testing, though requirements are evolving. As of 2025, countries with ongoing travel policies tied to COVID vaccination may include the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, some Asian countries (like Japan or South Korea), and specific regions within Europe. Even in places where it’s not mandatory, vaccination is strongly recommended for international travellers, especially to protect against outbreaks, reduce risk of disruption, and meet entry rules that may change on short notice. Always check official travel advice before departure.

Side effects are typically mild and include a sore arm, tiredness, or low-grade fever. These pass within a few days. Updated boosters help maintain immunity and reduce the risk of severe illness.
