It also has an infection control effect, but for the time being, let’s thoroughly implement basic infection control measures even after inoculation.

The new corona vaccine has also been found to be effective in preventing infection. Being less susceptible to infection means that the inoculator is less likely to spread the infection.
In addition, people infected after vaccination are less likely to become more severe and spread less easily than those infected without vaccination. In areas where vaccination is actually progressing, there are data showing that the number of infected people is decreasing even if they are not vaccinated.

However, inoculation cannot eliminate the infection of the new coronavirus. Continue to thoroughly implement basic infection prevention measures such as washing your hands and wearing a mask.
