medical intervention to provide immunity against the coronavirus

The COVID-19 vaccine, also known as the coronavirus vaccine or SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, is a medical intervention designed to provide immunity against the virus responsible for COVID-19.

They have been crucial in reducing the spread of the virus and the severity of the disease.
