Healthy Tips: Vaccines are an important tool, to protect Pacific people against COVID-19

Vaccines are an important tool, in combination with other measures, to protect Pacific people against COVID-19. The vaccines strengthen your immune system by teaching it to recognise and fight the virus that causes COVID-19. When you get vaccinated, you have a much lower chance of becoming ill if you are exposed to the virus. This is important because for some people COVID-19 can cause severe illness or death.
