Fully vaccinated! 💉
The Covid 19 pandemic has caused a lot of changes in our lives. Many of us lost a loved one, a co-worker, a friend, or a neighbor. We longed for a solution. A ray of light. Then the vaccine finally arrived... but some are unsure... some are prejudicial ... many are desperate.
This is my point of view.
COVID-19 vaccine is safe. It is effective. It has been tested on a diverse number of people. And no one manufacturer’s vaccine is better than the other.
Due to the circus of misinformation, a big percentage of Filipinos still say they don’t want to get vaccinated or say that they only want to get vaccinated by a specific vaccine. This is very unfortunate.
All currently authorized COVID-19 vaccines are 100% effective in preventing hospitalization and death.
Yes, It is a normal reaction to be curious or even apprehensive about something new.
Many try the tactic of “lets wait and see” on how something new or novel affects other people before they try it out themselves. That is understandable but these vaccines didn’t appear overnight. Years of research went into developing the mechanism by which these vaccines work .
Yes, the drug development was fast, but it wasn’t hasty. No steps were omitted, instead many of the steps required to develop and test a vaccine occurred concurrently. This allowed drug makers to get these vaccines ready in less than 12months.
A misconception persists that one vaccine is in some way superior or inferior than the other. The fact is , there is no “best” vaccine. The best vaccine is the one you can get.
The roll-out of vaccination was done worldwide and what we have seen so far is that the dangers of a COVID-19 infection far outweigh the risk of vaccine side effects. This means that the vaccine is safe, that it is effective and that it could bring the world back to normalcy.
After a tragic year of painful deaths, the hope of a fully vaccinated public is now possible. This is all up to us now! So be informed and Get Vaccinated!
