1. Coronavirus disease (COVID -19) is an infectious disease caused by SARS Cov-2 virus and was discovered in Wuhan, China. Most people who fall sick with it will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention.

2. The Omicron variant spreads more easily than the original virus that causes COVID-19 and the Delta variant. It is expected that anyone with Omicron infection can spread the virus to others, even if they are vaccinated or don't have symptoms. The Omicron variant is a variant of SARS- COV 2 that was first reported to the World Health Organization from South Africa on November 24, 2021

3. Influenza vaccines, also known as flu jabs or flu shots are vaccines that protect against infection by influenza viruses. New versions of the vaccines are developed twice a year, as influenza virus rapidly changes.

4. Flu shots are made with either dead flu viruses or proteins from flu viruses that are very weak. Neither can give you the flu. Nasal spray flu vaccines are made with a weakened flu virus that is cold-adapted. The spray goes in your nose, which is the warm environment. So, it can't cause the flu. Some people get mild side effects from a flu shot, but these aren't as strong as the symptoms when you have the flu.

5. A flu vaccine tells your body to start making proteins to fight flu viruses. It takes about two weeks to develop enough of these proteins to protect you from the flu. That's why it's best to get a vaccine before flu season when a lot of people in your community are likely to have flu. You can always get a flu vaccine during flu season if you didn't get one earlier. But, just remember it won't start working right away. Flu vaccines are also essential to protect us from flu viruses.
