COVID-19 vaccines underwent extensive testing before authorization and continue to be monitored in real-world use.

COVID vaccines significantly reduced severe illness, hospitalization, and death, particularly among older adults and people with underlying health conditions. In many countries, vaccination played a critical role in preventing healthcare systems from being overwhelmed.
