WHAT JCOVDEN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
JCOVDEN is a vaccine used for preventing COVID-19 caused by the

JCOVDEN is given to adults aged 18 years and older.
The vaccine causes the immune system (the body’s natural defences)
to produce antibodies and
specialised white blood cells that work against the virus, so giving
protection against COVID-19.
None of the ingredients in this vaccine can cause COVID-19.
