Constan Jackie L. Cantero Covid-19 Health Infographic

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people infected experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without treatment, though older people and those with underlying conditions are more likely to develop serious illness. The virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, and close contact. To reduce risk of infection, people should avoid crowded places, close contact settings, and confined spaces with poor ventilation. Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, loss of taste or smell, and difficulty breathing.

VACCINES: What you should know


It is SAFE! Vaccines have undergone extensive and rigorous testing
prior to FDA authorization.

Covid-19 vaccines have been proven effective in:


- reducing the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19;
- decreasing the likelihood of having a severe case; and
- reducing hospitalizations and deaths.

The side effects are mostly mild to moderate. The most common are:
- pain/soreness at the injection site,
- fatigue, and
- headache.

The vaccine does not contain the live COVID-19 virus, and it is NOT
possible to contract COVID-19 from being vaccinated

Full vaccination may require one (1) or two (2) doses, depending on
the type of vaccine.

The vaccine is recommended even if you have already had COVID-19


and recovered.
