Please understand the effects (benefits) and side effects (risks) before considering vaccination.
Vaccination is especially recommended for the elderly and those with underlying diseases who are at high risk of becoming seriously ill.

*Reference: Regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms at the time of infection, new coronavirus infections may cause various symptoms as aftereffects even after recovery from infection.

What is vaccination

In general, when you get an infection, you develop an "immunity" (resistance) against the pathogen (virus, bacteria, etc.) that causes it. By developing immunity, you will be less likely to get the infection again, and even if you do get it, the symptoms will be mild.

Vaccination is the use of the body's mechanisms to provide immunity against disease or to inoculate the body with a vaccine to strengthen the immune system.

Effects and side effects of vaccines

Reported effects and side effects differ depending on the type of vaccine and the number of vaccinations. Please see the page below.
