"COVID-19 infection has been shown to impact individuals of all ages and has demonstrated high risk of life-threatening disease. Nonetheless, older populations are at higher risk for the development of complications. It has also been identified that those at higher risk include individuals facing barriers including systemic racism, lower access to health care, or insecure employment. COVID-19 vaccines reduce illness prevalence and severity, and it is recommended for all individuals to get the first vaccine available to them." - Preparing for your COVID-19 Vaccine: A Guide for Canadian Muslims
