Why you should get a Covid-19 vaccination
Covid-19 is very dangerous and spreads quickly. The vaccines work very well against Covid-19. Getting vaccinated helps to protect you and your mob.
2 doses of a vaccine:
- reduces the chance you will catch Covid-19 by around 60% to 80%
- gives you around 90% protection against needing to be admitted to hospital or dying from Covid-19
- reduces the spread of Covid-19 to others.
The Pfizer vaccine is recommended for pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Even those who are young and healthy should get vaccinated. The majority of Aboriginal peoples with Covid-19 in NSW are under 40. Many young people have needed hospital or even intensive care because of Covid-19. You should get vaccinated to protect yourself and your mob.

You also need to get tested, if you have been with someone who has contact with someone else who was infected with Covid-19. They might be waiting on their own test results, but you should get one of your own as soon as possible.
