Vaccines Matter as Vaccines Save Lives

Second only to Safe Drinking Water, vaccines have saved more lives than any other technological or medical advance in the previous century. Despite this, there are still a lot of misconceptions about vaccines which impact their acceptance and adoption. Due to their recent fast-tracked recommendations, there are a lot of unanswered questions about the COVID-19 vaccines. This is my attempt to help answer some of the frequently asked questions about COVID-19 vaccines. Hence, FAQs instead of being a buried-down page on the website are the raison d'être for this website.

There are plenty of information sources about the disease epidemiology but as the vaccines are a recent phenomenon, I have tried to bring together the scientific information to help address common questions. I made a choice to include information about approved vaccines only, and refer information from credible authorities only. As more vaccines are authorized/approved, I'll update this information regularly, so please bookmark this site and come back frequently.

Keeping up with the spirit of FAQs, one question you might want to ask - Why should you trust me or this site? I have an under-grad in medicine (MBBS) and a degree in business administration (MBA). I have a rich, award-winning experience in vaccines communication from both medical and marketing perspectives. In this site, I have tried to bring the right level of scientific rigor with an easy to comprehend English. I'm not currently employed with any of the vaccines companies mentioned on this site, and I don't promote a specific vaccine over others for any personal motives. Still, please review this information purely from a scientific perspective and make you own choices individually or in consultation with your healthcare practitioner.

Lastly, I stand tall on the shoulders of the body of information and evidence provided by eminent bodies like ACIP, CDC, EMA, etc. However, all inaccuracies, misinterpretations, gaps are only mine. Please use the feedback form to send me updated/correct information. You can also reach me at vaccinefaqs@gmail.com. My privacy policy can be read here.

I firmly believe in Paying-It-Forward and hence built this site. Here is your chance to do the same - If you find the information on this site helpful and meaningful, please share it forward so that other people can benefit from this as well. Thank You!
