‼️ IMPORTANT ‼️

Vaccination is key to protecting against serious #COVID19, including disease caused by #DeltaVariant.

With @EMA_News we urge 🇪🇺 citizens to get fully vaccinated as soon as possible!

Don't forget your 2nd dose.
Don't miss your 2nd dose.

With the increasing circulation of the #DeltaVariant in EU/EEA, #EMA & #ECDC strongly encourage those who are eligible for vaccination but have not yet been vaccinated to start and complete the recommended #COVID19 vaccination schedule soon.

Full vaccination with any of the approved vaccines = a high level of protection against severe disease and death.

The highest level of protection is achieved after enough time (7-14 days) after the last dose.

#COVID19 #DeltaVariant

#Vaccination is also important for protecting those at highest risk of severe disease and hospitalisation, reducing the spread of the virus, and preventing the emergence of new variants of concern.



#COVID19

Until more people are fully vaccinated everyone should adhere to national regulations and continue to take measures such as #FaceMasks wearing & #PhysicalDistancing, even those who have received a complete vaccination schedule.


#COVID19

As vaccination campaigns gather pace across the EU/EEA, it may be advisable in some cases to consider reducing the interval between 1st & 2nd doses, within the authorised limits, particularly for people at risk of severe #COVID19 who have not completed the vaccine schedule.
