COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease 2019) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, characterised by acute severe respiratory syndrome. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or exhales. It can also be contracted by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the mouth, eyes or nose with contaminated hands. In most cases, the disease presents with mild cold-like symptoms, but it can also cause respiratory difficulties and pneumonia.

Although the likelihood of severe illness in children due to COVID-19 is low, they can still:

• become infected with the virus that causes COVID-19;
• spread COVID-19 to others;
• develop both short-term and long-term complications;
• suffer from severe COVID-19 disease.

For 5-11-year-olds, primary vaccination is recommended. Vaccinated children can safely attend kindergarten and school and continue with their hobbies.

All vaccinations done at Confido are recorded in your vaccination passport, which we ask you to take with you when you come to get vaccinated. If necessary, we will issue a new passport for an additional fee.
