Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first known case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The disease has since spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic. COVID-19 most often causes respiratory symptoms that can feel much like a cold, a flu, or pneumonia. COVID-19 may attack more than your lungs and respiratory system. Other parts of your body may also be affected by the disease. Most people with COVID-19 have mild symptoms, but some people become severely ill. Some people including those with minor or no symptoms may suffer from post-COVID conditions — or “long COVID”. Older adults and people who have certain underlying medical conditions are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Hundreds of thousands of people have died from COVID-19 in the United States. Vaccines against COVID-19 are safe and effective. Vaccines teach our immune system to fight the virus that causes COVID-19.
India officially launched its COVID-19 vaccination drive on 16.01.2021, with two approved vaccines – Covishield and Covaxin.
Smt S M Shah Pharmacy College has also extended its hands to fight against Covid-19 pandemic. SSMSPC had organized Vaccination drives to Students at college premises in collaboration with Health department Mahemdabad. Vaccination drive was organized on 7th January 2022 for students aged 15 to 17 years. Total 19 students were vaccinated the 1st Dose (Covaxin).
