Introduction

Dr Huzaifa Adamali emphasised the importance of everyone in the our community taking up their offer to get a Covid-19 vaccination, to protect both themselves and their families. The increasing prevalence of fake news was noted, with the need to rely on accurate and factual information which can save lives. People from BAME communities are four times as likely to die from Covid-19 but half as likely to have the vaccine than people from non-BAME communities. He strongly encourages to take up the offer of a vaccine as soon as possible.

What is Covid-19?

Covid-19 is an illness called by a new type of coronavirus. It was first identified in China in late 2019 and rapidly spread across the world. It is highly contagious and there is no natural immunity. Previous coronaviruses were transmitted by people who had symptoms so were aware they were affected. The difficulty with Covid-19 is that many people do not have any symptoms so are unware that they are affected and yet may still spread the virus to other people. Research on previous forms of coronavirus gave scientists a head start in investigating Covid-19. Symptoms tend to develop within five days of infection whereas vaccines can take two weeks to take effect as the antibodies take time to kick in. All viruses change as they replicate and mutate.

Vaccines

Vaccines are substances created to cause an immune response to provide protection against a particular infection. They are made by taking all or part of the bug that causes the infection and altering it so that it doesn’t cause infection but still produces an immune response. The Covid-19 vaccines use the spike protein of the virus to induce this immune response.
