A 2021 COVID-19 news update summarising what Johns Hopkins University and the US CDC reported at the time. For current advice, visit health.gov.au and speak with your GP.
This article is a COVID-19 news update first published in 2021. It summarises what was being reported at that time by Johns Hopkins University and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The situation, the science and public health advice have all changed since then, so please read this page as a record of 2021 reporting rather than as current guidance. For up-to-date information in Australia, visit health.gov.au and talk with your GP.
According to the CDC in 2021, more than one hundred million people in the United States had received at least a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and a large share of them were fully vaccinated. Vaccination programs were expanding quickly in many countries during that period.
During 2021, some reports raised the question of whether a COVID-19 diagnosis might be linked with a higher chance of developing diabetes afterwards. These were early findings, and research on the question continued well after this update was written. If you have concerns about diabetes or about your health after an illness, your GP is the right person to talk to.

Advice about vaccination, testing and infection control is updated regularly, so we encourage clients, families and carers to check health.gov.au for the latest information and to keep their GP informed about any changes in their health.
